Iran to resume nuclear work in defiance of EU

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran said it would break U.N. seals on a nuclear plant on Monday and resume work that the West suspects could help it build an atom bomb, defying EU warnings such a step could crush hopes of a negotiated solution.

Two years of hard bargaining over a nuclear program that Tehran had kept secret for 18 years appeared to be heading toward a crisis that could see Iran's case sent to the United Nations Security Council for possible sanctions.

The EU "Big Three" of Britain, France and Germany have been trying to mediate between the United States, which insists Iran is trying to produce nuclear weapons, and the Islamic Republic that says it has a right to develop peaceful atomic technology.
