ElBaradei urges US to join EU-Iran nuclear talks

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Berlin, Feb 19, IRNA -- The Director General of the International 
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Mohammad ElBaradei on Saturday urged the 
United States to join the ongoing political and nuclear talks between 
the European Union and Iran. 
Speaking with Der Spiegel news magazine, ElBaradei stressed 
Europe`s diplomatic initiative with Iran can only have a successful 
outcome, if America "brings its full weight to bear" on the sensitive 
diplomatic negotiations. 
He made clear that progress in the talks was not possible without 
Washington. 
The IAEA chief warned the US against any military strikes on 
Iran`s nuclear installations , saying it would lead to Iran "going 
underground" in producing nuclear arms. 
ElBaradei has repeatedly praised Iran`s "good cooperation" with 
the Vienna-based agency, saying his inspectors have found no evidence 
that Iran was making nuclear weapons.
