Tehran has failed to
dispel international doubts it wants nuclear bombs, the U.N. nuclear watchdog
agency reported on Thursday, clearing the way for the Security
Council to consider sanctions on Tehran.
But council diplomats said they would proceed cautiously, delaying
deliberations until after a meeting between European Union foreign policy
chief Javier Solana and top Iranian nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani.
John Bolton, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said he would
meet with his French, British and German counterparts to begin talks on a
sanctions resolution.
"We are certainly ready to proceed here in New York once we are given
the instruction to do so," Bolton said.
Western countries, including the United States and the European Union
fear Tehran is using a civilian nuclear energy program as a cover for
making atomic bombs. Iran says it wants only to generate electricity.
The Security Council and the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy
Agency, or IAEA, had demanded that Iran suspend its enrichment of nuclear
material by the end of August so that talks could begin on a way to
resolve the crisis.
But an IAEA report said Iran just last week resumed making low-enriched
uranium, suitable for power plant fuel, with a cascade of 164 centrifuges
at its pilot enrichment plant.
It also said a lack of Iranian cooperation had crippled IAEA probes
into the program.
"Iran has not suspended its enrichment related activities," the IAEA
said. "Iran has not addressed the long outstanding verification issues or
provided the necessary transparency to remove uncertainties associated
with some of its activities."
Western diplomats say they want the U.N. sanctions to be imposed on
Iran in an incremental fashion, increasing the pressure over time if Iran
presses on with its nuclear programs.

聯(lián)合國(guó)核監(jiān)察機(jī)構(gòu)周四發(fā)布消息說，伊朗沒有消除國(guó)際社會(huì)對(duì)其放棄核計(jì)劃的疑慮，這為安理考慮對(duì)其進(jìn)行制裁掃清道路。
但安理會(huì)有關(guān)官員稱，安理會(huì)將會(huì)慎重處理伊朗核問題，并計(jì)劃在歐盟外交政策主席哈維爾·索拉納與伊朗首席核談判代表阿里·拉里賈尼會(huì)晤后再商議此事。
美國(guó)駐聯(lián)合國(guó)大使約翰·波頓說，他將與法、英、德三國(guó)大使就制裁決議問題進(jìn)行會(huì)談。
波頓說：“安理會(huì)一旦批準(zhǔn)，我們就在紐約進(jìn)行會(huì)談?！?
美國(guó)、歐盟等西方國(guó)家擔(dān)心伊朗打著民用核能源計(jì)劃的“幌子”制造原子彈，而伊朗聲稱，其核計(jì)劃僅用于發(fā)電。
聯(lián)合國(guó)安理會(huì)和總部設(shè)在維也納的國(guó)際原子能機(jī)構(gòu)要求伊朗在8月31日前停止鈾濃縮活動(dòng)，為進(jìn)一步會(huì)談打開大門。
但是，國(guó)際原子能機(jī)構(gòu)在一份報(bào)告中稱，伊朗上周又開始制造用于發(fā)電的低濃縮鈾，目前其鈾濃縮試點(diǎn)工廠共有164臺(tái)分離機(jī)。
報(bào)告中說，伊朗的不合作是國(guó)際原子能機(jī)構(gòu)核查中的最大障礙。
國(guó)際原子能機(jī)構(gòu)指出，“伊朗并沒有中止與鈾濃縮相關(guān)的活動(dòng)，沒有處理長(zhǎng)期以來懸而未決的查證問題，也沒有為澄清這些問題提供任何必要的信息?！?
西方社會(huì)表示，他們希望安理會(huì)能逐步對(duì)伊朗實(shí)施制裁，如果伊朗繼續(xù)核計(jì)劃，就不斷對(duì)它施加壓力。
