EU had better avoid using language of threat against Iran - Asefi

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi today "recommended Europeans not to use the language of threat against Iran as it would be of no use, but instead try to take the initiative of cooperation with the country.

Asefi made the remarks in response to a recent comments attributed to French President Jacques Chirac by an Israeli newspaper," IRNA reported.

The paper had quoted Chirac as warning Tehran that EU would refer Iran's nuclear case to the UN Security Council.
