Britain will lead a drive to have Iran referred to the UN security council, with the possibility of sanctions being imposed if the newly elected hardline president does not stop uranium enrichment or restart negotiations with Europe and America. Reflecting the level of concern about Iran’s intentions, foreign secretary Jack Straw was due to meet President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad yesterday on the sidelines of the United Nations summit to try to resolve the stand-off. Mr Straw was making a joint approach with French prime minister Dominique de Villepin and German foreign minister Joschka Fischer.

Personally, I’m GLAD! I’m tired of our country (the USA) being the so-called “policemen of the world” and getting flak on it! It’s someone else’s turn. 👍
 
Of course it is perfectly legal for Iran to enrich uranium, as long as it doesn’t go the extra step and make weapons from it.

This may be considered a problem with the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
