Rice: UN Must Act on Iran Nuclear Plan
(AP/Washington Post) Anne Gearan - Iran seems determined to defy international demands to control its disputed nuclear program, so it is time for the UN Security Council to act, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Thursday after meetings with NATO foreign ministers. Tehran faces a Friday deadline from the Security Council to stop enriching uranium. "It's pretty clear Iran is not going to meet those requirements," Rice said. U.S. diplomats are gauging support in Europe for a network of independent sanctions and restrictions, such as a travel ban on Iranian leaders. Many European countries have already indicated a willingness to take such measures on their own, such as asset seizures and potential export bans.
