According to Agence France Presse, following the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) regarding stalemate in Iranian regime’s cooperation with IAEA, the governments of United States, Britain and Germany announced that Iran would face more sanctions.
Dana Perino, White House Spokeswoman, in a Joint press briefing with Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson, said: I think the IAEA report underscores once again that Iran is refusing to cooperate with the international community. These are choices that Iran has made, and we are working to find out, with our allies, what the next course of action would be.
The White House warned Iran Monday that it faced possible new sanctions after the UN atomic watchdog reported it had been unable to make much progress in investigating Tehran’s suspect nuclear program.
“We urge Iran to suspend its uranium enrichment and reprocessing activities or face further implementation of the existing United Nations Security Council sanctions and the possibility of new sanctions,” said spokesman Gordon Johndroe.
The International Atomic Energy Agency charged in a restricted report, a copy of which was seen by AFP, that the Islamic republic has not frozen uranium enrichment activities, which can be a key step towards nuclear weapons.
“This report shows once again that Iran is refusing to cooperate with the international community. The Iranian regime’s continued defiance only further isolates the Iranian people,” said Johndroe.
