Official: Iran will be referred to U.N.

[ECH1969]

The U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency is expected to convene Monday in Vienna to discuss the Iranian nuclear crisis.

A Western diplomat told Ynet that at least 20 of the 35 member countries of the U.N. watchdog agency are expected to vote in favor of referring the issue to the U.N. Security Council, but added that it remains unclear whether such a vote would in fact take place on Monday.

Sources close to Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom have also said the necessary majority for the referral has been obtained. According to the sources, 18 out of the 35 member countries support this decision, while two presently remain undecided.

Western diplomats have expressed their disgruntlement with the stubbornness displayed by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his unwillingness to reach a compromise regarding Iran’s nuclear aspirations.

5. And let me guess, bolton will press for a war resolution or two.

Except that they won't call them war resolutions for the moment, but that's what they will eventually call them.
