Sanctions alt causeRelations terminally tanked now - sanctions Reuters, 7/1 (2010, “Iran warns EU of "dire consequences" over sanctions,” http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE65T4GV20100701) Iran has warned European Union states of "dire consequences" because of their decision to impose tighter sanctions on Tehran over its nuclear program. "Undoubtedly, such a confrontational approach may leave dire consequences in the relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the European Union," Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said in a letter to EU foreign ministers obtained by Reuters on Wednesday. The EU's decision "will definitely cause far greater losses for the European Union itself rather than for the Islamic Republic of Iran as this is amply demonstrated in all previous statistics," said the letter, which was received on Tuesday. Mottaki's letter also said the 27-nation bloc "will practically deny itself of the potentially strategic cooperation of a powerful and influential partner in the sensitive region of the Middle East and Persian Gulf." EU leaders last week agreed tighter sanctions against Iran, including measures to block oil and gas investment and curtail its refining and natural gas capability. The measures, which go substantially beyond those approved by the United Nations Security Council on June 9, are designed to pressure Tehran to return to talks on its uranium enrichment program which Western powers believe is designed to produce nuclear weapons and Iran says is peaceful. Iran won’t negotiate – new round of sanctions The Hindu, 6/8 -- English-language Indian daily newspaper. With a circulation of 1.45 million,[1] The Hindu is the second-largest circulated daily English newspaper in India (2010, “Sanctions Will Close Doors to Talks: Ahmadinejad,” http://beta.thehindu.com/news/international/article449905.ece) Iran has warned global powers that the imposition of fresh sanctions that are in the pipeline would close the door for possible negotiations with Tehran on the Iranian nuclear issue. “If the U.S. and its allies think they could hold the stick of sanctions and then sit and negotiate with us, they are seriously mistaken,” Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday at a press conference on the sidelines of a security conference in Turkey. The Iranian President’s assertion coincided with hectic American-led preparations for a possible vote later this week at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on a new round of sanctions against Iran. Following his visit to Turkey, Mr. Ahmadinejad is travelling to Tajikistan and China, a key veto-wielding participant at the UNSC. “We will talk to everyone if there is respect and fairness but if someone wants to talk to us rudely and in a domineering manner the response is known already,” Mr. Ahmadinejad asserted. New sanctions make US-Iran rapprochement impossible Lauria and Solomon, 10 – (6/10/10, Joe Lauria and Jay Solomon, Wall Street Journal, “UN Slaps Iran with New Curbs,” http://online.wsj.com/article/NA_WSJ_PUB:SB10001424052748704575304575296450656111536.html The United Nations Security Council passed new economic sanctions Wednesday against Iran for its nuclear work, setting up a growing confrontation between Tehran and the West. Iranian leaders said Wednesday they were unbowed by the U.N.'s action and would push forward with their country's nuclear program. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad dismissed any hopes for rapprochement between Iran and the U.S. "These sanctions are like used tissues which should be thrown in the trash," the Iranian leader said after the vote, according to ISNA, a state-run news agency. The resolution, the U.N.'s fourth round of sanctions against the country since 2006, calls for new curbs on conventional-weapons sales to Iran and steps up international inspections of cargoes shipped in and out of Iran. The sanctions are less severe than those initially sought by the U.S., but the White House said it will use the resolution to pursue a broader financial war against Iran in league with key allies in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. President Barack Obama, in announcing the U.N.'s agreement, offered his most pointed attack on Iran's leadership following a year of fruitless attempts to engage it diplomatically. He justified the new sanctions on the grounds of defending human rights as much as combating a proliferation threat.
articles/2010/05/05/sanctions_would_backfire_on_us_iran_leader_warns/ President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran warned yesterday that passing tougher United Nations sanctions against his country would not only shut off all chances of diplomatic engagement between Iran and the United States, but would cripple President Obama’s hopes for success in Afghanistan, Iraq, and the Palestinian territories. “Any connections and contacts with Iran, the pathway to Iran, will be shut permanently,’’ he said in an interview with The Boston Globe. “Those who are trying to radicalize the atmosphere here fail to understand that they are speedily moving toward the cliff.’’ The 53-year-old former college lecturer arrived Monday in New York for a UN nuclear conference that has been critical of his country’s pursuit of nuclear technology. In an hour long interview conducted in a hotel conference room, he spoke calmly, with occasional flashes of emotion. He cast Iran as the key to ensuring Obama’s legacy as a global agent of change and said that if the White House sides with hawks against Iran, it would find itself entangled in intractable conflicts for years. “If he can’t resolve the impasse with Iran, do you think he can resolve the problems with Iraq, Afghanistan, and Palestine?’’ he said. Ahmadinejad’s remarks were made one day after he gave a blistering critique of the United States at the UN nuclear conference, prompting US and European officials to walk out. Iran has been locked in a bitter confrontation for years with the United States and its allies over Iran’s nuclear program, but tensions have mounted in recent months, as the Obama administration and its European allies gear up for new sanctions. The Obama administration appears to have committed to new sanctions after the collapse of a deal that would have taken nuclear material out of Iran, in exchange for fuel for its medical reactor. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Monday that there is no evidence Iran is serious about a deal.
