Senate RhetIraq: Condemning Iran
Who: US Senate
Source: Haaretz
Quotes: From article titled, "U.S. Senate unanimously passes resolution condemning Iran"
The U.S. Senate on Friday unanimously passed a resolution condemning Iran for its nuclear program and backing efforts to report it to the United Nations Security Council.
The resolution, approved by a voice vote, cites Iran's "many failures ... to comply faithfully with its nuclear non-proliferations obligations."
It "strongly urges" the International Atomic Energy Agency at its special meeting on Thursday to refer Iran to the UN Security Council over suspicions it is secretly trying to develop atomic bombs.
"They're interested in acquiring weapons of mass destruction and dominating the Middle East," Arizona Republican John McCain told a panel. "I don't know of any carrot that works."
