First a brief note to John McCreary, thanks for reply,
It'll take me some time to respond properly.

But as for this short note, I don't usually forward
news to this list, but this one is a jaw dropper.
According to Daily Telegraph, giving anonymous British
diplomats as the source:

"[...]Iran said the EU-3 should support Iran's quest
for "advanced (nuclear) technology, including those
with dual use" - a reference to equipment that has
both civilian and military applications."

"[...]More astonishingly, Iran said the EU-3 should
agree to meet Iran's requirements for conventional
weapons and even "provide security assurances" against
a nuclear attack on Iran."

Now I have my doubts about the reliability of this
story, although I do not know where Telegraph stands
on this particular issue. Perhaps Judy or someone else
can explain.


Cheers,
