Gregory Schulte Quotations

There are those who would argue that conversion is not proliferation-significant because it does not produce weapons-grade material, but from our perspective, conversion is another step forward to acquire enrichment capability.

I would expect in the coming days we'll see a statement coming from the Security Council....

Full implementation of IAEA safeguards will be an important part of implementing the joint statement.

IAEA inspectors have no doubt this information was expressly intended for the fabrication of nuclear weapons components.

I think Turkey has a very important role to play in achieving a diplomatic settlement.

It is hard to imagine that the director general will be able to produce a positive report on Friday.

Our goal is a peaceful settlement and that's why we're working so hard with the European Union, with the Security Council, to achieve this.

The time has now come for the Security Council to act. Iran has still not come clean.

The United States believes that it is imperative to move rapidly on an agreement to implement the goals outlined in the joint statement.

Rather than acting to regain international confidence, Iran is moving ahead brazenly with its enrichment program, continuing its determined, step-by-step effort to acquire the material, technology and know-how to produce nuclear weapons.

Despite North Korea's threats and provocations, the international community maintained its resolve and solidarity.

As a first step, we envision a call (by the council) for Iran to cooperate with the IAEA and take the steps identified by the board to restore confidence.

It is time to send a clear and unequivocal message to the Iranian regime about the concerns of the international community by reporting this issue to the Security Council.

The authorities in Tehran, rather than threatening the world, should listen to the world and take the steps necessary to start regaining its confidence.

I hope South Africa will, rather than taking position in the middle,... use its moral high ground to help in our effort to drive Iranian leadership in different direction.

Iran's leaders are forging ahead to acquire the material, equipment, and expertise to produce nuclear weapons.

The Director General's report will now be transmitted to New York for action by the Security Council.
