16 hours ago
BRUSSELS, Belgium — European Union foreign ministers say they will not support a military strike on Iran but want more talks to try to resolve worries Tehran might be developing nuclear weapons.
British Foreign Secretary David Miliband says it is now up to Iran to respond to global powers and EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana after talks in Geneva on Saturday.
He says Britain and others involved in the negotiations with Iran are "100 per cent focused on a diplomatic resolution" to the Iranian issue.
The ministers discussed with Solana the Saturday meeting, which made little progress in resolving the standoff.
The U.S. and Israel have not ruled out a military strike on Iran if it does not give up uranium enrichment and heed United Nations Security Council demands aimed at dispelling fears over its nuclear plans.
