U.S. Plans to Seek Sanctions Against Iran

By GEORGE GEDDA

Associated Press Writer

Snip from Guardian

WASHINGTON (AP) - Secretary of State Colin Powell says the United States plans to press for a range of possible U.N. Security Council sanctions against Iran in response to what he describes as a concerted effort by that country to develop nuclear weapons.

Powell told reporters Wednesday night the United States will urge the United Nations' nuclear watchdog group on Sept. 13 in Vienna to refer the Iranian case to the U.N. Security Council for action.

``We're looking at the range of possible actions of a political, economic, diplomatic nature,'' Powell said.

He commented while flying home from Panama after attending the inauguration of Panamanian President Martin Torrijos.

3. I don't believe that the U.N. will fall for the sanctions line from the
U.S., especially coming from Colin Powell, this time around.
