The confrontation between Iran and the west will intensify today when Mohammed ElBaradei, head of the UN nuclear watchdog, delivers a negative verdict on Tehran’s nuclear programme.
Dr ElBaradei, who leads the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), will rule that Iran has failed to comply with a 30-day deadline set by the UN security council.

Officials from the US, Britain, France, Russia and China – the five permanent members of the security council – and Germany will meet in Paris on Tuesday to discuss sanctions, though Moscow and Beijing reiterated yesterday they remain opposed to punitive measures.
