    As Iran races forward with its nuclear development, western countries are still trying to find a way to bring this country back to the negotiating table.

    Last week the Europeans backed off their only condition set forth for Iran in order to resume talks. It was the halt of activities in Isfihan USF nuclear plant and in return Iran was not referred to the Security Council by IAEA board of directors. Subsequently, the two sides agreed to talk about the so called “Russian Plan.”

    Now only two days after the IAEA meeting, Iran again refuses to cooperate. The old game continues.

    It is understood that Europe likes to continue trade with Iran. The troubling question is “at what price?”
