US wants new sanctions on Iran in weeks: Obama
[Al Arabiya Latest] U.S. President Barack Obama said on Tuesday the international community was "moving along fairly quickly" toward imposing fresh sanctions on Iran, as the Islamic Republic further expanded its nuclear program.Obama also said Iran's refusal to accept a U.N.-brokered nuclear fuel supply deal suggested it was intent on trying to build nuclear weapons, despite its insistence that its nuclear program was only for the peaceful generation of electricity. Obama was asked in an impromptu appearance in the White House briefing room how quickly six key world powers were moving to toughen a regime against Tehran given Iran's enrichment activity.
