A senior US diplomat has hit out at Iran and called on members of the UN Security Council to agree on economic sanctions against Tehran.
At a summit in Brussels, Nicholas Burns called Iran "the major disruptive, negative force in the Middle East".
The five permanent Security Council members plus Germany are to meet on Tuesday to discuss a sanctions package.
The council recommended sanctions after Iran failed to comply with a deadline for refusing to end uranium enrichment.
However, France indicated that the six powers were nearing an agreement on the wording of a UN resolution.
Talks between Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy and his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov ended in broad consensus, Mr Douste-Blazy said in Brussels.
He said he hoped the final resolution could be agreed at the talks in Paris on Tuesday. .........
