Reuters: Rice: Iran moves will require UN action

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on Wednesday Iran’s assertion it has enriched uranium will require “strong steps” from the United Nations Security Council.

Rice said the announcement from Tehran was further proof it was not adhering to requirements already set out by the international community. “I do think the Security Council will need to take into consideration this move by Iran,” Rice said at the State Department. She urged that when the council reconvenes it take “strong steps to make certain (to) maintain the credibility of the international community.”

Did Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the Iranian Mullahs miscalculate with their boastful uranium enrichment announcement yesterday? Will this unite the international community sufficiently to stop their nuclear weapon procurement and manufacturing capability.

Doubtful.
