Security Council nears deal on Iran resolution |
2006-07-29 |
![]() Churkin stressed that work on the resolution was not finished, raising the possibility the introduction of the draft could be postponed. The resolution, drafted by Britain, France and Germany with U.S. backing, is a followup to a July 12 agreement – by the foreign ministers of those four countries, plus Russia and China – to refer Tehran to the Security Council for not responding to incentives to suspend enrichment. The ministers asked that council members adopt a resolution making Iran's suspension of enrichment activities mandatory. Tehran said last week it would reply Aug. 22 to the Western incentive package, but the council decided to go ahead with a resolution and not wait for Iran's response. Iran on Friday called again for international negotiations on its nuclear ambitions and said it was considering the incentives. Western nations have dismissed the idea of such talks without a halt to Iran's uranium enrichment. |

#1 I am psychic. The UN will say: we call for an immediate ceasefire and a pullback of all Israeli troops, and we will place towers along the Frontier with Israel to monitor future aggression, while allowing Hamas and Hizbollah supporters to site 30,000 all-Israel reaching missiles. If, when Israel is forced to sue for peace, the indulged Arabs begin exterminating Israel's 6,000,000 Jews, then we will point the blame at the Americans who aided the Zionist regime. |
