UN set to sign sanctions package on Iran
Foreign ministers of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany plan to approve a package of incentives and penalties meant to reward Iran if it gives up uranium enrichment – and punish it if it doesn’t, diplomats said today.
They said EU foreign policy chief, Javier Solana, would also attend the meeting planned for Thursday in Vienna, which could open the way for UN Security Council sanctions if Tehran refuses to relinquish the technology that can be used to make the fissile core of nuclear warheads.
