Bolton fears Iran's nuclear development will test U.N. efficacy
BY ANDREW MAYKUTH

Knight Ridder Newspapers

WASHINGTON - The U.N. Security Council's impending showdown over Iran`s nuclear ambitions is a critical test of the effectiveness of the world body, United Nations Ambassador John R. Bolton said yesterday.

"If the Security Council can't deal with that threat, then you have to ask yourself what utility the Security Council would be in dealing with terrorism and weapons of mass destruction," Bolton said at a midday appearance before the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia.

The United States and its allies claim Iran is developing a nuclear bomb under cover of a peaceful civilian nuclear power program. The 15-member Security Council has given Iran a deadline of April 28 to stop uranium enrichment, a key step in the process.

Bolton said the Bush administration was committed to resolving the crisis diplomatically. But he noted that the president had not ruled out military action.

"We have to ask ourselves at sometime, if our efforts fail, will we allow Iran to get nuclear weapons?" Bolton said. "Now, I believe the president is very serious when he says it's unacceptable for Iran to have nuclear weapons. If it's unacceptable, that means it's unacceptable."
