Iran threatens to curb inspections

Top News Article Reuters.com

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran threatened on Friday to block snap U.N. inspections of its nuclear facilities if it is taken to the U.N. Security Council, but the United States said the West would not be deflected from that course.

"I'm not going to prejudge what the United Nations Security Council should do," President George W. Bush told a news conference in Washington with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

"But I recognize that it's logical that a country which has rejected diplomatic entreaties be sent to the United Nations Security Council."

Chancellor Angela Merkel has seemingly talked some sense into Bush.
