Britain’s Catherine Ashton, who took over as foreign policy chief last month from Javier Solana, said the world cannot let Iranian regime to stall for time as tensions build in the Middle East over suspicions that it is pursuing nuclear weapons.
“I think it is highly regrettable that Iran did not accept the agreement that was proposed by the International Atomic Energy Agency," Ashton said.
She addaed that "there are international rules that we have. And if the country wants to be treated as I believe its history, its geography and its people deserve to be treated, it has to work with us. And I deplore all the violations of human rights that we have seen, and of course I want to be ready for dialogue but it is not an excuse to play for time."
