Special report:Iran Nuclear Crisis

    PARIS, May 2 (Xinhua) -- The five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, plus Germany, are to meet Tuesday in Paris after failing to reach agreement last month over the Iranian nuclear issue.

    It is the first meeting at political director-level grouping Britain, China, France, Russia, the United States and Germany since the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) announced Friday that Iran hadn't cooperated nor suspended its nuclear program.

    Teheran remained inflexible over its nuclear program despite a UN injunction giving it one month to suspend all uranium enrichment activities.

    Iran said Monday that it had seen no reason to comply with and it has written to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan to complain about the reported threat of a U.S. attack with or without UN approval.

    The Western are seeking at the Paris meeting to a UN Security Council resolution that is expected to legally constrain Iran to obey to its obligations, diplomats said.

    The closed-door talks will open the door for a foreign ministers' meeting of the six countries on May 9 in New York. Enditem
