World powers to work on new U.N. resolution on Iran
Mon Feb 26, 2007 4:08pm ET
LONDON (Reuters) - World powers agreed on Monday to work on a new U.N. Security Council resolution to put pressure on Iran over its nuclear program but remained committed to seeking a negotiated solution, British officials said.
Few details emerged from the London meeting but State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said the world powers would hold phone talks on Thursday "at which time they hope to be able to hammer out the elements of a U.N. sanctions resolution."
Iran dug in its heels over its atomic program as the world powers met to discuss tightening U.N. sanctions against the Islamic Republic. The West fears Iran is trying to build nuclear weapons but Tehran says the program is only for electricity.
The five permanent veto-wielding United Nations Security Council members -- the United States, France, Russia, China and Britain -- plus Germany met against a background of rising international tensions over Iran's nuclear ambitions.
The statement that the major powers were still committed to a negotiated solution followed Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's comments earlier on Monday that he was worried by more frequent talk of possible U.S. military strikes against Iran.
"We had a productive first discussion of the next steps ... We began work on a new Security Council resolution," said John Sawers, political director of the British Foreign Office.
"We also considered how best to re-engage with Iran. We are all committed to seeking a negotiated solution," he said in a statement.
