IAEA calls emergency meeting

Well, negotiations in their current form seem to have failed, and pretty miserably at that. The EU3 has called off negotiations with Iran. Now, even after Iran has proposed restarting them, the EU3 has pretty told them to go fuck themselves because there is nothing else to talk about. The EU3 want nuclear fuel to be supplied from another country, Russia being an option but would accept strict monitoring of any enrichment processes. Iran sees either of these options as unacceptable and want to freely enrich uranium with little oversite. Neither side is willing to give in to the other side so negotiations are done. No use talking neither side is willing to comprimise. The IAEA will meet starting Feb 2nd and will most likely refer the matter to the UN Security Counsel for possible sanctions or other actions. Britain, France and the US all support doing whatever it takes to resolve the situation and China has stated it prefers negotiations but will not veto any sanctions. Russia is taking a more pro-Iran tone but has not said it will veto any actions the Security Counsel decides to take.
