Russia and China Demand Iran Freeze Nuclear Activity, but Reject Referral to UN
(New York Times) Elaine Sciolino and Alan Cowell - Russia and China affirmed Monday that Iran must resume its freeze on certain nuclear activities, but refused a call by the Americans and the Europeans for the issue to be put before the UN Security Council. The Russian and Chinese positions were laid out during five hours of high-level talks in London that brought together the five permanent members of the Security Council - the U.S., Russia, China, France, and Britain - and Germany in an effort to forge a common position after Iran's resumption last week of nuclear work at three sites.
