Admin to Seek New U.N. Sanctions on Iran

HeadlineSep 13, 2007

The Bush administration has announced it plans to make a new push for U.N. Security Council sanctions over Iran’s nuclear activities. The White House says it will gather the five permanent Security Council members for a meeting next week. Iran has refused U.S. demands to suspend uranium enrichment as a precondition for talks. In an interview with British television, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Iran has no need for a nuclear bomb: “We do not need a bomb. We are against bomb actually. There are many reasons that we are against it. In our belief we are against bombs. From political point of view, it is not useful, we think.”
