[bemildred]

Gee, who could have predicted this?
And a heartly F*ck You to Dolton, too.

Russia, backed by China, has blocked an agreement on a UN Security Council statement aimed at quashing Iran's nuclear ambitions, diplomats say.

Senior officials from Germany and the US, Britain, France, Russia and China - the five veto-holding Security Council members - met for more than four hours on Monday to discuss how to handle Iran.

They were joined by ambassadors to the UN but were unable to agree on a draft statement from the Security Council telling Iran to stop uranium-enrichment efforts.

Nicholas Burns, the UN under-secretary of state, said after the meeting at the British UN mission in New York: "We remain convinced that we will see a presidential statement. It just may take a couple more days."
