Lieberman: Diplomacy over Iran nuclear threat must be limited
By Haaretz Service and Reuters
Tags: Israel news 

Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman on Wednesday said that the international community's diplomatic efforts to curb the Iranian nuclear threat should be limited in time.

Lieberman made his comments during a meeting with his Austrian counterpart Michael Spindelegger.

The foreign minister added that Tehran is using diplomacy to drag out negotiations over its nuclear program, and accused Iran of having no intention of reaching an agreement.

Meanwhile, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Wednesday warned major powers against intimidating Iran and said that talk of sanctions against the Islamic Republic was "premature."

"There is no need to frighten the Iranians," Putin told reporters in Beijing.

"We need to look for a compromise. If a compromise is not found, and the discussions end in a fiasco, then we will see," he said, adding that talks of sanctions was "premature" at present.

Lieberman and Spindelegger also discussed the Goldstone Report on the Gaza war, with Lieberman saying that the adoption of the report would offer diplomatic immunity to terrorism.

Spindelegger said that that the report needs to be discussed by the UN Human Rights Council and not in any other forum.
