China, Russia might be getting ready to switch their position on Iran
China and Russia may reneging on commitments to demand that Iran stop enriching uranium, a British diplomat said after giving the United Nations Security Council a resolution threatening the Islamic nation with economic penalties for refusing to comply. ``We have seen this happen before with China and Russia,'' U.K. Deputy Ambassador Karen Pierce said. ``They think that if they can row back a bit, why not try?''
Pierce said she was concerned about remarks by Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin that he's in no hurry to adopt a UN resolution on Iran, and with Russian proposals that would delay adoption of the measure. U.S. Ambassador John Bolton said he wants the Security Council to vote this week.
