NEW YORK (AP) - The United States and European nations whose diplomatic advances were rebuffed by Iran worked Sunday to present a case against the Tehran regime to the United Nations nuclear watchdog agency meeting this week.
The Bush administration's lead diplomat on Iran, Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns, huddled with representatives of Germany, France and Britain a day after Iran's new hardline president used a United Nations speech to proclaim his country's ``inalienable right'' to produce nuclear fuel.
In a fiery speech to the U.N. General Assembly, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad defiantly rejected the European offer of economic incentives in exchange for Iran giving up its uranium enrichment program.
Ahmadinejad denied his nation had any intention of producing nuclear weapons. To prove that, he offered foreign countries and companies a role in Iran's nuclear energy production.
It is not clear what effect Ahmadinejad's remarks will have on the International Atomic Energy Agency, whose member nations were lobbied heavily by the Bush administration ahead of a meting beginning Monday in Vienna.
The United States accuses Iran of hiding nuclear weapons ambitions behind its civilian nuclear energy program, and wants the United Nations Security Council to review Iran's record. The Security Council could impose punitive sanctions.
