New resolution on Iran introduced
From Times Wire Reports
Britain and France circulated a revised U.N. sanctions resolution against Iran and predicted that it would be approved Friday.
The new draft dropped a mandatory travel ban against about a dozen Iranians involved in the country’s nuclear and missile programs, which Russia said was an unnecessary punishment.
Russia and China, which have strong commercial ties to Iran, have not indicated whether they would vote in favor of the draft.
