U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on Thursday it was likely Washington will seek another U.N. Security Council sanctions resolution on Iran because of its nuclear program, but no decision had been made.
"We are certainly exploring it and I think we probably think, at this point, it's likely we would pursue one, but we haven't made the decision," Rice said in a interview with U.S. newspaper reporters.
The Security Council voted unanimously on December 23 to impose sanctions on Iran's trade in sensitive nuclear materials and technology in an effort to stop enrichment work that could be used in atomic bombs.
Rice's comments were the clearest indication by a senior U.S. official that the United States is seriously considering a second resolution on Iran, which Washington accuses of seeking atomic weapons under the cover of a civil nuclear program.
