An evening with Jalili in Istanbul. As a final warning?

(B2) The EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Catherine Ashton, is due to meet Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, Mr. Jalili, on Tuesday (18 September) in Istanbul. A meeting that is not formal we hasten to clarify on the side of Ashton. " This is part of ongoing dialogue efforts with Iran, in line with the agreements reached in Moscow in June. She follows the meeting of technical experts, the high-level meeting between European and Iranian Sherpas — Helga Schmid and Ali Bagheri — in July, and the Ashton-Jalili phone call in early August. But " even if it is not a round of formal negotiations, the meeting will be an opportunity to underline once again to Iran the need to have, in a urgent and significant, a step to build confidence and show more flexibility with the E3 +3 proposals put on the table in Baghdad. Clearly, it is a question of giving Iran one last chance to put forward concrete avenues for a nuclear solution, while Israel is preparing, less and less discreetly, for a phase of armed tension with Iran.
