Iran rejects Europe's nuclear deal
Hmmm...let's get this straight. Iran agreed to stop enriching uranium while negotiations proceeded with the EU-3, but are reportedly rejecting the proposed EU-3 deal because it doesn't include the right to enrich uranium? Huh? Are they even trying to negotiate in good faith?
I wouldn't be surprised if talks break down.

Iran has declared that it will resume nuclear conversion at Esfahan within one or two days. Europe has requested an emergency meeting of the IAEA to pressure Iran not to resume nuclear fuel cycle work. Israel is pressuring Ukraine to demand from Iran the 12 nuclear-capable X-55 cruise missiles that were smuggled there four years ago.
All of this is happening as the talks with North Korea are drawing to a crucial, and so far unpredictable, end.
So is World War III imminent? Hardly.
Over reaction is exactly what these unlikely allies are fishing for. The coincidence of declared threats by both countries is a bit too convenient. By cranking the nuclear threat pressure simultaneously, both North Korea and Iran are hoping to walk away with the most handouts.
