単純なブッシュと、腹黒いラムズフェルドが、イランに対してあれこれと言いがかりを考えているのが丸見え? 欧米列強は核開発をやっていて、それ以外の国がそれを行うと文句を言うというのもおかしな話だ。 8月9日付のフランス・Agence France-Presseの記事より転載。

ブッシュ大統領は、イランが9日現在、国際原子力機関(IAEA)による封印を解除する強硬手段は取っておらず、欧州側との交渉継続の余地も残しているといわれていることについて、深い懸念を抱いていることを明らかにした。
そしてもしイランが英仏独との話し合いに失敗したなら、国連による制裁もありうるとの警告を発した。
彼は「我々は、イランがいかなる種類の核開発をするつもりであっても、そのことは核兵器開発につながるものと見なし、断じて許すことはできない」といった。
またこれとは別に、ラムズフェルド国務長官は、イランがイラク国内に武器を密輸していることを厳しく非難している。
アメリカの諜報機関は2週間前にイラク北東で押収されたイラン製の新爆弾は、イランの革命分子からのものだといっている。
ラムズフェルドは「イラクで発見された武器はイラン製に間違いなかった」といい、「イランの当局者が関与しているかどうかは分からない」といった。
また彼は「それはイラク政府にとって、多国籍軍にとって、国際社会にとって問題だ。そして結局のところイランにとっても問題だ」といっている。

Bush Warily Backs New Iran Nuclear Talks
The Iranian leader described a European offer of nuclear, commercial and political cooperation in exchange for Iran renouncing ultra-sensitive nuclear activities as an "insult to the Iranian people".
Crawford, Texas (AFP) Aug 09, 2005
US President George W. Bush on Tuesday warily welcomed signs Iran was ready to resume talks with European powers on its atomic ambitions, saying he was "deeply suspicious" of Tehran's intentions.
"We'll have to watch very carefully," said Bush. "They have, in the past, said they would adhere to international norms and then were caught enriching uranium. And that's dangerous."
Speaking one day after the Islamic republic resumed sensitive nuclear activities, Bush warned of possible UN sanctions on Iran if negotiations with Britain, France and Germany fail to ease fears Tehran seeks atomic weapons.
"We will work with them in terms of what consequences there may be, and certainly the United Nations is a potential consequence," the president told reporters on his ranch near this tiny town.
Bush took note of media reports that Iranian President Mahmood Ahmadinejad had expressed a willingness to resume negotiations with Europe, which have been teetering on the brink of collapse.
"If he did say that, I think that's a positive sign that the Iranians are getting the message, that it's not just the United States that's worried about their nuclear programs, but the Europeans are serious in calling the Iranians to account and negotiating," Bush said.
"We've condemned strongly Iranians' attempt to develop any kind of program that would allow them to enrich uranium to develop a weapon," he said. "We're very deeply suspicious of their desires."
Washington accuses Tehran of using a civilian nuclear program as cover for a quest for atomic weapons. Iran denies the charge.
Separately, US Defense Secretary Donalf Rumsfeld accused Iran of allowing weapons to be smuggled across its border into Iraq, where US forces face a deadly insurgency, and warned that "ultimately, it's a problem for Iran."
US intelligence believes that a cache of newly manufactured Iranian bombs discovered about two weeks ago in northeastern Iraq came from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, a US intelligence official told AFP.
"It is true that weapons clearly, unambiguously from Iran have been found in Iraq," said Rumsfeld, who told reporters he did not known whether there was official Iranian involvement.
But he added: "It's a big border and unhelpful for Iranians to be allowing weapons of those types to be crossing the border."
"It's a problem for the Iraqi government. It's a problem for the coalition forces. It's a problem for the international community. And ultimately, it's a problem for Iran," he said.
Earlier, the Iranian student agency ISNA quoted Ahmadinejad as telling UN chief Kofi Annan in a telephone conversation on Monday that Tehran was prepared to resume talks, albeit with "new propositions" to be unveiled shortly.
But the Iranian leader described a European offer of nuclear, commercial and political cooperation in exchange for Iran renouncing ultra-sensitive nuclear activities as an "insult to the Iranian people".
"The Europeans talk as though the Iranian people were a backward people, as if they were still in the last century when they dominated our country," he said.
His comments came as the International Atomic Energy Agency met in emergency session following Iran's resumption Monday of uranium conversion -- the precursor to enrichment -- at a plant on the outskirts of the central city of Isfahan.
In Vienna, Iranian negotiator Cyrus Nasseri said Iran was "prepared to continue negotiations with the EU-3 (Britain, France and Germany)... as long as there are no preconditions" and the talks are in "good faith."
Nasseri said Iran was "frustrated" that the EU-3 were still not acknowledging what Iran considers its right under the NPT to make nuclear fuel as part of a peaceful atomic program.
"We don't want the Iranians to have a nuclear weapon," said Bush. "We'll work with our friends on steps forward, on ways to deal with the Iranians if they so choose to ignore the demands of the world."
