Israel pours cold water on big-power talks with Iran

TEL AVIV | Tue May 29, 2012 4:42pm EDT
(Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday nothing short of Iran stopping uranium enrichment, getting rid of what it already produced and dismantling the means of making more, would satisfy him that it had no nuclear weapons project.
"This is the true test. Without that there is nothing," he told a strategic affairs conference in Tel Aviv.
He said the six world powers, which last week finished a second round of negotiations with Iran over its disputed nuclear programme and scheduled the next meeting in Moscow on June 18-19, needed to take a tougher stance.
"Not only do they need to strengthen the sanctions, they need to strengthen their demands from Iran for which they have placed the sanctions," the right-wing Israeli leader said.
