US diplomat predicts tough Iran resolution:
"05/02/06 'The Guardian' -- -- The US diplomat leading talks on Iran's nuclear programme today predicted European governments would propose a tough UN resolution that could allow the use of sanctions or force against Tehran.
Speaking prior to six nation talks on the issue in Paris, the US under-secretary of state, Nicholas Burns, said diplomacy was still the primary hope but that he expected France, Britain and Germany to propose a binding resolution under chapter seven of the UN charter.
The passage of a resolution that could allow sanctions is not guaranteed.
Earlier, a senior Iranian official claimed Russia and China had told Tehran they would reject such a resolution, and a senior Russian politician also said he expected this would be the case. "
