Clinton: Iran's proposals were 'non-starters'

At the press conference here in Jerusalem on Monday night, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told reporters that the proposals made by Iran at the recent P 5+1 talks were 'non-starters.'

"I made very clear that the proposals that we have seen from Iran thus far within the P5+1 negotiations are non-starters," Clinton told reporters at a news conference in Jerusalem following a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "Despite three rounds of talks, Iran has yet to make a strategic decision to address the international community's concerns and fulfill their obligations under the IAEA and the UN Security Council."

In her remarks, Clinton reaffirmed the goal of achieving a diplomatic solution to a program many western countries fear is a cover for Iran to develop nuclear weapons. Iran maintains its program is purely for peaceful purposes.

Unexpected?
