UN council ready to tackle Iran nuclear issue
The president of the UN Security Council said on Tuesday it was ready to tackle proposals for new sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program, while US diplomats worked to persuade China that action is needed.
Gabon's UN Ambassador Emanuel Issoze-Ngondet, president of the Security Council for March, said the Iranian nuclear issue was not on the agenda of the 15-nation panel this month, but council members might still hold a meeting on it. (Reuters)
