French PM: Iran Should Face UN If Nuclear Work Restarts

Dow Jones Newswires:
Iran should go before the U.N. Security Council if it follows through on its promise to resume uranium processing at its Isfahan plant, France's prime minister said Tuesday. "It will be submitted to the Security Council if Iran does not comply, Dominique de Villepin told Europe-1 radio. "Iran must hold to the commitments it has made."

Iran agreed late Monday to a two-day delay in reopening its Isfahan nuclear processing plant after vowing to break the seals and restart nuclear processing.

European Union negotiators have urged Iran not to take unilateral action, saying they are only days from delivering a package of incentives addressing security and political, economic and nuclear issues.
