The UN Security Council reached agreement Saturday on a resolution that would reaffirm previous sanctions on Iran for refusing to halt its uranium enrichment program, council diplomats said.
The council scheduled a meeting for late Saturday afternoon to vote on the resolution that also reaffirms incentives if Teheran ceases its enrichment program.
The US and Russia reached a compromise on Friday to lead a new council effort to condemn Iran's nuclear program, without introducing any new sanctions.
Council members met behind closed doors Saturday morning to discuss the draft resolution. US Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad told reporters afterwards that agreement had been reached on the text and a vote would be held later Saturday.
