US warns Iran against resuming atomic fuel research

The United States has warned Iran against resuming atomic fuel research and development next week, saying if it does not abide by agreements, the international community will have to consider additional steps to restrain Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.

“If Iran takes any further enrichment-related steps, the international community will have to consider additional measures to restrain Iran’s nuclear ambitions,” State Department Spokesman Sean McCormack told reporters. He did not specify what actions the Bush administration will be taking.
