Bush's security council warning for Iran

US President George Bush said today that the stand-off over Iran’s suspected nuclear programme is heading for the UN Security Council if Tehran continues to refuse to halt uranium enrichment.

“We’ll see whether or not that is the firm position of their government,” Bush said after a meeting with his cabinet at the White House. “If they continue their obstinance, if they continue to say to the world: ‘We really don’t care what your opinion is,' then the world is going to act in concert.”
