Manouchehr Mottaki has urged major world powers to exercise restraint over a new UN resolution aimed at tightening sanctions against Iran. The Iranian foreign minister said the timing of the request that the UN Security Council consider a new draft resolution was "strange".
It would have been more logical, he said, to wait for the new report on Iran's nuclear activities due soon from the International Atomic Energy Agency - the UN's nuclear watchdog - before taking action
Mr Mottaki refused to be drawn on what Iran would do if tighter UN sanctions were imposed.
But in the meantime, he said, he was urging Security Council members to show patience.
He countered that Iran would was prepared to talk to any party about its controversial nuclear programme but not if there were preconditions.
