Solana is disappointed....

Solana doesn't have a clue...for how many years has the EU been negotiating with Iran????

Iran appears set for a showdown with the West after its chief nuclear negotiator ruled out a suspension of its atomic research programme despite the threat of a new round of international sanctions.

A five-hour meeting in central London between Javier Solana, the EU foreign affairs chief, and Saeed Jalili, Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, broke up after a sharp divide emerged between the two sides.

Iran had claimed it would bring new proposals to the talks, but Mr Solana said the country's position fell far short of a breakthrough.

"I have to admit that after five hours of meetings I expected more, and therefore I am disappointed," he said.
