/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The George Bush Administration declares that Iran
does not implement conditions put forward by UN Security Council
members, and warns about possible new sanctions against Tehran. "The
matter is if Iran will implement conditions put forward by all of
us, the UN Security Council members, but in the stream of public
statements, which recently are coming from Iran, we see nothing
that would prove they fulfill our conditions," U.S. Under Secretary
for Political Affairs Nicholas Burns stated in the interview to the
National Public Radio Wednesday evening.
On December 23 of 2006 the UN Security Council unanimously adopted a
resolution, which supposes sanctions against Iran since the country did
not stop uranium enrichment works that the world community demanded.
"We would be very glad if they fulfilled these conditions, but if they
don't do that, I think, you will see continuation of international
efforts on using diplomacy, as well as applying sanctions, in order to
increase the economic price for what they are doing," Burns stressed.
Alongside, one more time he denied information, which continue to
occur in world Media, that the U.S. is preparing a military strike on
Iraq. "We do not want to use force," the American diplomat underlined,
adding that it is possible to avoid military conflict with Iran. "The
military conflict is not desirable and we make significant efforts
in diplomatic approach," Burns stressed.
The Under Secretary added that United States' military presence in
the region is aimed at providing security for American allies in
Arab world, as well as in connection with actions in Iraq. "We are
not aspiring for a new military conflict, " the American diplomat
repeated, RIA 'Novosti' reports.
