U.S. Accepts Draft on Iran that Omits Use of Force
(New York Times) Steven R. Weisman - The Bush administration, seeking to enlist Russian support for a UN Security Council resolution on Iran, has agreed to language ruling out the immediate threat of military force, American and European officials said Tuesday. The resolution is to call on Iran to suspend various nuclear activities that are viewed in the West as part of a clandestine weapons program. Also being negotiated is a package of benefits in nuclear energy, economic activities, and security to be offered Iran if it cooperates in ending its nuclear activities.
