Iran threatens Europe, no one notices

From IRNA:
Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki here on Saturday warned European countries not to cross Iran's red lines.

Mottaki made the remark in response to the new proposal made by Group 5+1 in London.

The European countries are well aware of Iran's red lines, he underlined.

During his joint press conference with his Yemeni counterpart Abu Bakr al-Qurbi, Mottaki referred to his recent meeting with British Foreign Secretary David Miliband in Kuwait and said he was informed that on May 2nd the Group 5+1 would gather in London to write a letter for Tehran.

"I told him that you are quite familiar with Iran's red lines, therefore, you should avoid crossing those lines," Mottaki said.

It's only been three weeks since reports surfaced of a new Iranian missile launch site that had the range to reach most of Europe.
