US to build coalition on Iran sanctions
 The United States would want European and other countries to join in imposing travel and financial sanctions on Iran if Tehran refuses to halt nuclear enrichment, a senior US official said on Monday. Undersecretary of State Nicholas "Monty" Burns, in a television interview late on Monday night, said the world must be tough-minded as diplomacy towards Iran moves into a new phase in the UN Security Council. So in order to get the attention of the Iranians and convince them that theyve got to roll back, you might have to arrange a coalition of countries and I dont know if Russia and China will be part of that that would apply targeted sanctions on the ability of Iranian leaders to travel and use the international financial system, Burns said on Public Televisions The Charlie Rose Show.Posted by: Fred 2006-03-08 |
