ASSociated Press:Bolton: U.N. Will Send Iran Strong Signal
U.S. Ambassador John Bolton said Thursday the
U.N. Security Council appears determined to send a “strong and clear signal” to Tehran about its suspect nuclear program, after a meeting of the powerful U.N. body that he described as the best so far.In an informal gathering of the 15 council members, diplomats agreed to hold the first formal Security Council consultations on Friday — a sign that a split between Britain, France and the United States on the one hand, and China and Russia on the other, may have closed somewhat.
In addition, senior officials from six key countries involved in negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program will convene Monday to try to hammer out a final deal and discuss what the council ought to do after it makes its first statement on Iran.”I would describe today’s meetings as the best we’ve had so far,” Bolton said after the talks, the full council’s second informal meeting on Iran. “The mood of the discussion is certainly in the direction of a strong and clear signal to Iran on the part of the Security Council.”
Oh, diplomats and the spin……..
It makes little difference what the United Nations Security Council decides. U.N. sanctions arfe meaningless. Iran has the choice of either standing down their nuclear program or face the wrath of a military operation by the United States and Israel.
Stay tuned……
