NEW YORK (AP) - The latest United Nations report on Iran's nuclear program should pave the way for passage next week of a new U.N. Security Council resolution tightening sanctions on Tehran, the American U.N. ambassador said Friday.
Friday's report by the International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed that Iran has continued to enrich uranium in defiance of repeated U.N. council resolutions demanding that it suspend the uranium centrifuge program, which could produce both civilian nuclear fuel and the material for a nuclear bomb.
Tehran insists it's interested only in civilian nuclear energy, but the U.S. and others contend it harbors ambitions for a bomb.
