The USA, Russia and China have agreed on a new UN Security Council
resolution on Iran, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said at
hearings in the U.S. Senate on the ratification of the new START
treaty, RIA Novosti reports.
Representatives of the Iran Six are still discussing the text of the
resolution project on possible additional sanctions against Tehran,
developed by the USA. The 'six' failed to agree on the US proposition
and the diplomats believe that the resolution approval process may
continue until June.
One of the reasons is that Lebanon is current chairman of the Security
Council and is dead set against sanctions against Iran.
Russian Vice-Premier Sergey Ivanov said earlier at the Nixon Center in
Washington that Russia is satisfied with the spirit of the discussions
on the Iranian resolution with the USA.
