US announces introduction of Iran resolution at UN

U.S. Ambassador John Bolton announced on Wednesday that the Western powers were introducing a draft resolution to the full U.N. Security Council aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear ambitions.

"We and the British and the French expect (to) introduce the draft resolution this afternoon," Bolton told reporters minutes before a closed meeting of the 15-member council.

He said it would be a resolution under Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter, which makes demands legally binding. "It will make mandatory on Iran the suspension of all uranium enrichment and plutonium reprocessing activities," he said.
