Russia Says No Rush on Iran Security Council Resolution

[Purveyor]

UNITED NATIONS (AP) - July 19, 2006 - The U.N. Security Council is in no rush to pressure Iran over its suspect nuclear program, Russia said Wednesday, striking a more conciliatory tone than the United States as diplomats began discussing a resolution to put legal muscle behind demands that Tehran suspend uranium enrichment.

Ambassador Vitaly Churkin said the council wants an answer sometime soon to a June 5 package of incentives that six world powers offered to Iran if it stopped enrichment. But he stressed the council is not trying to push Tehran.
"We are not in a rush at all," Churkin said. "We do not want to ambush Iran in any way. We're very much in a negotiating political mode. We do not want to dictate things to Iran."

"Nobody's pushing Iran anywhere," he said.

Churkin's remarks seemed distinctly more relaxed than the message that was sent on July 12, when foreign ministers of Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the U.S. met and expressed disappointment that Iran had failed to respond positively to the package.

They are probably going through a thermonuclear meltdown right about now.

Too bad, Bush. You are a Paper Tiger.
