US, China agree on Iran nuclear consequences
[Al Arabiya Latest] The United States and China agreed that Iran faced "consequences" if it resisted greater openness on its nuclear program, U.S. President Barack Obama said Tuesday after talks with China's Hu Jintao in Beijing.Obama told reporters in a joint address to reporters that he and Hu "agreed that the Islamic Republic of Iran must provide assurances to the international community that its nuclear program is peaceful and transparent." "On this point our two nations and (other global powers) are unified. Iran has an opportunity to present and demonstrate its peaceful intentions, but if it fails to take this opportunity, there will be consequences," Obama said. China and the United States are among six world powers seeking a negotiated end to Iran's nuclear programs. Posted by: Fred 2009-11-18 |
