Security council gives Iran 30 days to clear nuclear suspicions
The UN Security Council has given Iran 30 days to clear up suspicions that it wants to become a nuclear power and key members are already discussing further action if Tehran refuses to suspend uranium enrichment and allow more extensive inspections.
After three weeks of intense negotiations, the 15-member council finally agreed on a statement yesterday designed to put Iran on notice that even its closest allies – Russia and China – want answers about its nuclear programme, and quickly.
