Iran Nuclear Watch: Condoleezza Rice – United Nations Security Council Sanctions UNLIKELY

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov speaks during an interview with a small group of reporters in Moscow, Friday, March 3, 2006. Russia warned Friday that global powers have not agreed what to do if Iran’s nuclear program is referred to the United Nations Security Council.

Reuters: Sanctions unlikely first step on Iran: Rice

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Saturday said the UN Security Council was unlikely to impose sanctions on Iran as a first step in dealing with the disagreement over its nuclear program.

“I would expect that you would need at least something that tries to give the IAEA the weight of the security council in order to get Iran to do something. But I do not think people are talking about going directly to sanctions,” Rice told reporters traveling with President George W. Bush in Pakistan.

Condi is attempting a diplomatic spin to the truth: The United Nations Security Council does not have the WILL and WILL DO NOTHING to stop Iran’s nuclear program. If these fools in the U. N. Security Council ever could decide something, China will use its VETO authority.

So, what does the United States and its Western allies want:

1. Immediately suspend the nuclear activities that they have restarted, namely uranium enrichment (whose products could be diverted to make nuclear weapons)

2. Develop a civil nuclear program would NOT involve enrichment and reprocessing on Iranian territory.

The ball continues in the Iranian Mullah’s court as the United States and Israel weigh their options for a possible military solution.

Stay tuned……
