US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her French counterpart warned Iran on Friday that it will face referral to the U.N. Security Council unless it agrees to change its stance on nuclear energy.
"There's also the option of the Security Council. It is a course that is available to the international community, so it's important that the Iranians negotiate in good faith,'' Rice said at a news conference after meetings with French President Jacques Chirac and French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy.
"We must make the Security Council option credible,'' Doust-Blazy said, according to the AP.
Saturday's constitutional vote in Iraq, Lebanese politics and the potential spread of bird flu were also on Rice's agenda in Paris.
