Annan warns U.S. on Iran UNITED NATIONS (USA Today) -- UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan warned the Bush administration that the Security Council might deadlock if asked to punish Iran for its nuclear program. The United States and Britain have called for Iran to be brought before the Security Council if it carries out threats to resume efforts to make nuclear fuel. The United States and Britain believe the fuel could be used for bombs, while Iran contends that it is to generate power. China and Russia, which have strong economic ties to Iran, might veto any push to sanction Iran, Annan suggested in interviews with USA Today. "Action or inaction will have a great impact on future cases and on our efforts to promote nuclear non-proliferation," Annan said. A deadlock on Iran, he said, could embolden North Korea and future North Koreas. Iran suspended efforts to make nuclear fuel in November, while it negotiates with Britain, France and Germany. Iranian leaders have expressed unhappiness with those talks. Iran's parliament voted Sunday to oblige Iran "to take action to obtain peaceful nuclear technology." _______________________________________________________________ I guess this is why we need Bolton in UN; he'll straighten Annan right.
