U.S. suggests Iran sanctions not linked to UN
The Bush administration called on Friday for Russia and the countries of Europe to impose their own penalties on Iran over its suspected nuclear arms program if no agreement on sanctions could be reached soon at the United Nations Security Council.
“If the Security Council cannot act over a reasonable period of time, then there will be an opportunity for groups of countries to organize themselves together for the purpose of isolating the Iranians diplomatically and economically,” said R. Nicholas Burns, under secretary of state for political affairs and the lead envoy on Iran.
