In his first State of Union address to Congress, US President
Barack Obama warned Iran that it will face "growing consequences"
over its nuclear work if ignores its “obligations.”
He used his address to Congress on Wednesday to show how he
intends to govern in the next three years. He also delivered
a warning to Iran.
President Obama claimed diplomatic efforts had "strengthened"
the US position in dealing with countries that he said are violating
international agreements, referring to Iran and North Korea.
"That is why the international community is more united,
and the Islamic Republic of Iran is more isolated. And as Iran's
leaders continue to ignore their obligations, there should be
no doubt: they, too, will face growing consequences," he
said.
He also accused Iran of "violating international agreements
in pursuit of" nuclear weapons.
Iran says its nuclear program is directed at the civilian applications
of the technology and is in line with the Nuclear Non-proliferation
Treaty, to which it is a signatory.
On Wednesday, a senior US official, speaking on condition of
anonymity, said US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would
seek support for new UN Security Council sanctions against Iran
during her stay in London this week.
According to the official, the former first lady will hold
private meetings with the foreign ministers of Russia, China,
Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and
the United Arab Emirates to garner support for new Iran sanctions.
Earlier this month, the five permanent members of the UN Security
Council plus Germany (P5+1) met in New York and failed to agree
on a new round of sanctions.
During the meeting, Russia and China called for patience and
restraint in dealing with Iran over its nuclear program.
"When the people find they can vote themselves
money, that will herald the end of the republic."
