Iran Detains U.K. Embassy Workers - Obama Administration Still Fantasizing Over Nuclear Negotiations

Sunday Paper - June 28th, 2009

Britain’s foreign secretary, David Miliband, described the detention as “harassment and intimidation.”

“The United Kingdom is deeply concerned at the arrest and, in some cases, continued detention of some of our hard-working locally-engaged staff in Tehran. This is harassment and intimidation of a kind which is quite unacceptable,” Mr. Miliband said Sunday during his visit to Greece. “The idea that the British Embassy is somehow behind the demonstrations and protests that have been taking place in Tehran in recent weeks is wholly without foundation. We have protested in strong terms, directly to the Iranian authorities, about the arrests that took place yesterday.”

In Washington, Obama’s top political adviser, David Axelrod, didn’t rule out U.S. engagement with the Iranian government.

Meanwhile, in Washington Sunday, President Barack Obama’s top political adviser said Mr. Ahmadinejad wasn’t in charge of Tehran’s foreign policy, but didn’t rule out U.S. engagement with the Iranian government to discuss its nuclear program in the months ahead.

Mr. Axelrod described the Iranian leader’s attacks as “bloviations that are politically motivated.” But he didn’t rule out that the Obama administration could push ahead with negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear program at some point. Mr. Axelrod stressed that the U.S. government was working with the five members of the United Nations Security Council, plus Germany, to determine if, and when, negotiations over the nuclear issue could commence.

“We are going to continue to work…through the multilateral group of nations that are engaging Iran, and they have to make a decision,” Mr. Axelrod said.
