But the American ambassador to UN, John Bolton asked, why Iran was dealing with uranium metal, for which he said, the any real use was a nuclear weapon. From the UN in New York here is MS.

The report from the UN's nuclear watchdog found no hard evidence that Iran was developing a nuclear weapon. But it is clear that Teheran has not complied with the central UN demand - to suspend uranium enrichment.

Iran will now be hoping to expose any differences on the Security Council with Russia and China much less enthusiastic than Britain and the United States about punitive measures. Meetings will start next week to begin the difficult process of deciding what if any sanctions the UN should impose on Iran.
