The International Atomic Energy Agency is expected to report today Iran has failed to properly suspend uranium enrichment. A 60-day deadline expired on Wednesday. In Germany, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged Iran to change course.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon: “Taking this opportunity, I would strongly urge the Iranian authorities to comply, first of all truly, with the Security Council resolution and continue to negotiate with the international community, particularly the European Union.”

Iran has vowed to continue nuclear activities but says it’s open to unconditional talks. On Wednesday, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice defended the Bush administration’s refusal to talk to Iran without a suspension of enrichment.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice: “That is the entire purpose of having this pressure on the Iranian regime, so that the Iranian regime can make better choices about how to engage the international community. I would reiterate, as well, that in May of last year we offered, the Bush administration offered, to reverse 27 years of American policy to engage in the context of the six with our Iranian counterparts. I have said I would meet my Iranian counterpart anyplace, anywhere, anytime, should the Iranians decide to suspend.”
