U.N. draft resolution orders Iran to halt uranium enrichment
Britain and France, backed by the United States, introduced a draft U.N. Security Council resolution on Wednesday that would order Iran to halt uranium enrichment immediately because it poses a "threat to international peace and security."
Russia and China have joined in demands that Iran suspend work on enrichment, the process that produces low-enriched uranium for power plants and also can make highly enriched uranium for nuclear weapons.
But both countries oppose a resolution under Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter, which empowers the council to act against threats to international peace and security. They worry that it could put a diplomatic solution beyond reach by opening the door to sanctions or military action against Tehran.

They all are agreeing that it's a bad idea for Iran to have enriched uranium but Russia and China don't want to piss off Iran. Is that more/less a thumbs up for Israel to do what they need to?Psycho4Bud Reviewed by Psycho4Bud on .
