Since 20 September, the committee has received seven documents from Member States - two reports under resolution 1737 and five combined reports under resolutions 1737 and 1747 - Belgian Ambassador Johan C. Verbeke, the committee's chairman, told the Council in an open meeting.
"That brings the total number of reports under resolutions 1737 to 87 and the total number of reports under resolution 1747 to 71," he said.

 FREDERICKSBURG, Virginia (AFP) — US President George W. Bush said Monday that Russian deliveries of nuclear fuel to Iran only fed the need for the world to clamp down more firmly on Tehran's home-grown atomic work.
And the US State Department announced consultations Tuesday with five other powers on a draft UN Security Council resolution imposing tougher sanctions on the Islamic republic for refusing to freeze uranium enrichment.

WHITE HOUSE (AP) - The White House says a Russian shipment of nuclear fuel to Iran is just another reason for Iran to suspend its own enrichment program.
A White House spokesman says if Iran is going to be getting fuels from Russia, it doesn't need its own program.
The U.S. has been pushing the U.N. Security Council to pass a third round of sanctions against Iran for its refusal to suspend uranium enrichment. But that became more difficult when a recent U.S. intelligence report concluded Iran had halted its nuclear weapons development program in 2003 and had not resumed it through at least the middle of this year.

 BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Leaders of the European Union reiterated on Friday their support for possible additional U.N. sanctions against Iran if it fails to give up nuclear enrichment work and repeated an offer of support if it did so.
The statement at a summit in Brussels came despite a U.S. National Intelligence Estimate this month that Iran had stopped its nuclear weapons program in 2003, a surprise announcement diplomats say increased reluctance among already skeptical Russia and China for a third round of sanctions.

Brown, who has pushed for stronger sanctions to target Iran's oil and gas industries, said the Iranian regime has not offered a full explanation of why it is enriching uranium.

The United States and other major powers began drafting new U.N. sanctions against Iran yesterday despite a U.S. intelligence estimate that Tehran suspended its nuclear weapons program in 2003, but serious differences with Russia and China remain, diplomats said.
Senior officials from the five countries with permanent seats on the U.N. Security Council held the most specific talks yet on a third resolution during a 90-minute conference call, the State Department said.
Britain and France also hold permanent seats on the council, and Germany is part of the discussions as well.

 WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush on Tuesday called on Iran to explain why it had a secretive nuclear weapons program, and warned that any such efforts must not be allowed to flourish "for the sake of world peace."
"Iran is dangerous," Bush said after an Oval Office meeting with Italian President Giorgio Napolitano. "We believe Iran had a secret military weapons program, and Iran must explain to the world why they had such a program."
Bush's comments came after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that it was "a step forward" that U.S. intelligence agencies had concluded that Tehran stopped developing its nuclear weapons program four years ago.

 WASHINGTON (AP) — A draft plan for new United Nations sanctions against Iran would punish a branch of the Iranian armed forces and one of the nation's largest banks, despite last week's U.S. re-evaluation of Iran's nuclear weapons intentions, U.S. officials said Monday.
A preliminary sanctions plan drafted by France is under consideration by leading members of the U.N. Security Council, one official said. The United States, which has been pressing for continued sanctions pressure on Iran, supports the package.
