Iran Will Face Sanctions Vote Within Days, U.S. Says

The United Nations Security Council will vote within days on whether to impose sanctions on Iran for refusing to halt its nuclear program, the U.S. government said.

“We are hopeful that we can get a vote in the very near future,” State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said yesterday. Nicholas Burns, the U.S. undersecretary of state for political affairs, told Cable News Network that sanctions will be passed against Iran “in the next several days.”
