Iran Nuclear Watch: United States Ready to Bring United Nations Security Council Resolution to a Vote
John Bolton, United States Ambassador to the U.N., talks to the media after an informal meeting of the members of U.N. Security Council at the offices of the British Mission to United Nations in New York to discuss the Iranian nuclear program Saturday, May 6, 2006.
The United States said Saturday it was prepared to bring a U.N. resolution on Iran’s nuclear program to a vote — with or without Russia and China’s support — but was still seeking to bridge differences and win unanimous Security Council approval.
After an informal meeting at Britain’s U.N. Mission, council members said they made progress in a paragraph-by-paragraph discussion of the draft resolution. Britain’s U.N. Ambassador Emyr Jones Parry acknowledged, however, that the most contentious issues were not discussed in detail.
“We are still working to achieve unanimity … but we’re prepared to go to a vote without it,” U.S. Ambassador John Bolton said. “We’re not prepared to extend these negotiations endlessly … I think it’s realistic to consider this for a vote next week.”
The United States and its allies are going to PRESS this issue to the UNSC.
They will make Russia and/or China fish or cut bait on Iran’s nuclear program.
Let’s get this party started………
