How many people are surprised by this? ************************************** Annan does not expect immediate UN action on Iran Australian Broadcasting Corporation ^ \| 1 September 2006 United Nations chief Kofi Annan says that the deadline for Iran to freeze sensitive nuclear work had passed but that he did not think the Security Council would act immediately. "Even though the deadline has expired, I don't think the Council is going to act tomorrow. I will need to be in touch with the players to find out how they intend to proceed," Mr Annan said. "And I am not sure that they are ready to take the kind of action you want," he said. "I will need further consolations with them." The Security Council adopted a resolution last month calling on Iran to halt uranium enrichment by August 31 or risk possible sanctions, amid fears in the West its nuclear program may be a cover for efforts to build the bomb. The so-called 5+1 - permanent Security Council members Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States plus Germany - have offered Iran a package of incentives in return for a nuclear freeze. Asked by reporters if he expected the international community to move towards imposing sanctions on Iran, Mr Annan said: "That is an issue in the hands of the Security Council. "Now that the deadline has passed I know that there were attempts being made to organise a meeting between Iran and the other six players. The meeting has not taken place yet." Mr Annan, on a regional tour largely focused on underpinning the UN-brokered cease-fire in Lebanon, left Jordan for Syria and is expected in Iran on Saturday.
