Russia says the five permanent Brown calls on Israel to freeze settlement construction ...
Tough talk over Iranian war games ... members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany have not agreed to impose new sanctions on Iran.
Moscow's ambassador to the UN, Vitaly Churkin, told reporters in New York that while the issue of sanctions had been raised, no firm agreement has been reached. Earlier, US and British officials said the major powers negotiating with Iran over its nuclear programme had agreed that they had no choice but to pursue fresh sanctions. This comes after Iran gave an inconclusive reply to international demands that it freeze its uranium enrichment activities. The five permanent Security Council members and Germany have offered Tehran an incentives package in an effort to persuade it to halt its sensitive nuclear work.
