AP: Russia says no rush on Iran resolution

The U.N. Security Council is in no rush to pressure Iran over its suspect nuclear program, Russia said Wednesday, striking a more conciliatory tone than the United States as diplomats began discussing a resolution to put legal muscle behind demands that Tehran suspend uranium enrichment.

Ambassador Vitaly Churkin said the council wants an answer sometime soon to a June 5 package of incentives that six world powers offered to Iran if it stopped enrichment. But he stressed the council is not trying to push Tehran.

“We are not in a rush at all,” Churkin said. “We do not want to ambush Iran in any way. We’re very much in a negotiating political mode. We do not want to dictate things to Iran.”

“Nobody’s pushing Iran anywhere,” he said.

And does Ambassador Churkin REALLY think the United States and Israel will wait for the eunuch-like United Nations Security Council to impose sanctions on Iran for its nuclear program?

Probably…..but America knows what Russia’s interests are – to suck up to Iran and all of their oil money. Same goes for China.
And remember in the Cold War – WE WON, the Soviets LOST.

So, naturally Russia loves to watch Iran and the Mullahs prod and poke the United States in the eye.

The Russian tone contrasted with Washington’s. The U.S. has been vocal in its frustration with the Iranian response so far.

U.S. Ambassador John Bolton said Washington had instructed him to get a resolution on Iran passed by the end of the week. But with the council so busy on Lebanon, and negotiations on Iran likely to take several days, other diplomats said that seemed unlikely.

The five permanent members of the council met Wednesday to trade ideas about the language of a new resolution. The dynamic appeared to be the same as it was when the council haggled over a statement confronting Iran’s nuclear ambitions in March: China and Russia looking for weaker action, with Britain, France and the U.S. seeking a tough response.

John Bolton can try all he likes but the UNSC will DO NOTHING to stop Iran’s enrichment of uranium. The United States and Israel WILL – when a point of no return is reached.
In the meantime, as the diplomats draft resolution after resolution, the centrifuges in Natanz are spinning…….

Stay tuned……
