The Movement paid, this evening,  tribute to the victims of the Tragedy of 9/11 and to the American Nation during a commemorative gathering held at the Trocadero Place in Paris. 

The SMCCDI Representative in France,  Kaveh Mohseni who was speaking on behalf of the Movement, slammed the Islamist terrorism and all the governments which are still closing their eyes on such threat, blinded by commercial opportunities with fanatic and rogue regimes, such as, the Islamic republic. He reitrated the call for a firm and collective action against terror and tyranny by imposing sanctions against the Mullhacracy.

Over two hundred demonstrators had gathered by responding to the invitation of the "Mouvement Pour la Paix et Contre le Terrorisme" endorsed by SMCCDI and groups, such as, Hevel - Association de Soutien Post-Traumatique - Association Marianne Lehman Zaoui - D'ailleurs et d'Ici Mais Ensemble - Lutte Contre l'Obscurantisme - B'nai B'rith France - Union Laïque des Familles de Culture Musulmane de France - Droit et Laïcité - Conseil Européen des Fédérations Wizo - Primo Europe - Cercle Léon Blum - Mouvement pour l'abolition de la prostitution etde la pornographie - Union pour un Iran libre (pro-referendum) - Laïc Info -  Union des Israéliens originaires de France, d'Afrique du Nord et des pays francophones - Fils et Filles des Déportés Juifs de France - Infoweb-j.net  and Cap 21.

Iran refuses to halt nuclear program in the face of critical IAEA meeting

By GEORGE JAHN

BERLIN (AP) - Iran's refusal to give up uranium enrichment -and banish suspicions it seeks nuclear arms - set the stage Sunday for confrontation before a United Nations' agency, with the United States lobbying to have Iran taken before the Security Council for possible sanctions.

Washington appeared unlikely to get its way immediately at Monday's meeting in Vienna, Austria, but its stand was bolstered for the longer term after European allies agreed to set a November deadline for Iran to meet international demands to suspend uranium enrichment and clear up other concerns about its nuclear program.

In a draft resolution prepared by France, Germany and Britain and made available to The Associated Press, the three European powers warned of possible "further steps" by November, the next meeting of the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency's board of governors.

Diplomats said "further steps" was shorthand for referring Iran's case to the Security Council if the Tehran regime hindered the IAEA's nuclear investigation or if it refused to suspend uranium enrichment.

A top U.S. official said the administration hoped for "a peaceful and diplomatic solution" in its effort to ensure Iran does not obtain atomic weapons in violation of its commitments under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, known as the NPT.

During a visit to Israel, Undersecretary of State John Bolton said Security Council sanctions were "not inevitable," but suggested they were likely.

He also hinted that all options remained open for dealing with Iran. "We're determined that they're not going to achieve a nuclear-weapons capability," he said.

Iran's government remained defiant ahead of the Monday meeting.

Speaking in the Iranian capital Sunday, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said his country would not give in to demands that it abandon uranium enrichment - a process with applications in both generating electricity and making nuclear warheads.

Asefi repeated that Iran was willing to provide guarantees it is not seeking nuclear arms, assurances that have been dismissed in the past by the United States and its allies as inadequate.

Enrichment does not fall under Iran's obligations under the NPT, but the Tehran government has been under international pressure for more than a year to fully renounce enrichment to counterbalance suspicions that arose from the discovery two years ago that it had hidden some nuclear activities for nearly two decades.

A U.S. official, who spoke to The AP on condition of anonymity, said Iran's defiance was helping Washington. He said Bolton, the U.S. point man on nuclear nonproliferation, was pressing the Europeans on Sunday to toughen their language in the draft resolution for the IAEA meeting.
