No Support in UN from China or Russia on Iran Measure
(Washington Post) Colum Lynch - The U.S., France, and Britain failed on Monday to get support from China and Russia on a proposed statement pressuring Iran to suspend its nuclear enrichment efforts. Russia and China have publicly and privately urged Iran to suspend its enrichment of uranium and to cooperate with the UN atomic energy agency. But they have vigorously opposed any initiatives in the Security Council that could potentially lead to the imposition of sanctions or to the use of force.
