Security Council, many members of Congress are advocating get-tough approaches and say military force should remain an option to thwart Tehran&#8217;s nuclear ambitions.<br \/> Lawmakers largely back the effort to haul Iran before the Security Council over the Iranian government&#8217;s refusal to give up its uranium enrichment program. But some say they doubt that a simple reprimand from the council &mdash; seen as a likely outcome &mdash; will be enough to persuade Iran to change course.<\/p>\n<p>  Rather, Republicans and Democrats alike say the United States should seek international economic sanctions that are harsh enough to hurt Iran, while securing assurances from Tehran&#8217;s major trading partners that they will abide by any restrictions the Security Council imposes.<\/p>\n<p>Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has repeatedly emphasized that the United States is committed to addressing the Iran standoff diplomatically and is working to line up support for a vote of the U.N.&#8217;s International Atomic Energy Agency to refer Iran to the Security Council.<\/p>\n<p>Rice has shied away from discussions of possible U.S. military action, saying the United States is focused on a diplomatic course. But she has consistently said President Bush reserves the right to use any option, including force.<\/p>\n<p>Lawmakers say the threat that Iran could obtain weapons of mass destruction is so serious that the international community must act decisively to halt Iran&#8217;s nuclear program. The Bush administration should not rule out other avenues should diplomatic efforts fail, they say.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;It&#8217;s important to give diplomacy a try, but I don&#8217;t believe we should take any option &mdash; including military force &mdash; off the table,&quot; said Sen. John Cornyn (news, bio, voting record), R-Texas, chairman of the Senate Armed Services emerging threats subcommittee.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;If you eliminate the threat of military action, the possibility of it, then there&#8217;s no way to secure compliance,&quot; added Rep. Gary Ackerman (news, bio, voting record), D-N.Y., a House International Relations Committee member.<\/p>\n<p>The standoff with Iran over its nuclear program has intensified in the month that Congress has been away from Washington for its holiday break.<\/p>\n<p>Iran has broken U.N. seals at a uranium enrichment plant and said it was resuming nuclear research after a 2 1\/2-year hiatus. European countries declared dead their negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program.<\/p>\n<p>The Iranian government claims its intention is purely peaceful &mdash; to generate electricity. But the United States and its allies fear Iran has a more threatening objective &mdash; making nuclear bombs.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record), R-Ariz., said diplomatic efforts must be exhausted before turning to the &quot;last option,&quot; the use of force.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;There&#8217;s only one thing worse than the United States exercising a military option, and that is Iran having nuclear weapons,&quot; the No. 2 Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee said on &quot;Fox News Sunday.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Some analysts have said that while an American military strike could destroy Iran&#8217;s nuclear facilities, it would anger U.S. allies, intensify the Muslim world&#8217;s bitterness toward the United States, drive up oil prices and rally Iranians behind their president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., said the United States and European countries must do everything possible to secure the support of China and Russia to take Iran before the Security Council, and then stake out &quot;a tough posture&quot; that includes sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>However, said Obama, a Senate Foreign Relations Committee member, &quot;We have to be judicious in how we apply sanctions &mdash; there may be some sanctions that may not make a difference.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Christopher Smith (news, bio, voting record), R-N.J., vice chairman of the House International Relations Committee, said: &quot;We need to use the diplomatic means very, very aggressively.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Some lawmakers are suggesting that new Iranian leadership is needed. <br \/>Sen. Jon Kyl (news, bio, voting record), R-Ariz., said that for now, the United States and its allies must intensify its pressure on Iran to halt its nuclear program. &quot;But ultimately,&quot; he said, &quot;there must be change in the country&#8217;s leadership. The current Iranian government is a corrupt and dangerous regime that&#8217;s out of step with its citizens.&quot; <\/p>\n<p>Cornyn said Iran has become more authoritarian and autocratic. &quot;We need to do a better job of letting pro-democracy forces in Iran know that we are supportive of their efforts of peaceful regime change,&quot; he said. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a bipartisan group of senators led by Sens. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and Norm Coleman, R-Minn., has introduced a resolution condemning Iran&#8217;s nuclear program, calling for the immediate suspension of uranium enrichment activities and endorsing a referral of Iran to the Security Council. <\/p>\n<p>At the same time, Sen. Evan Bayh (news, bio, voting record), D-Ind., is pushing his own resolution that in part accuses Bush of ignoring the threat of Iran for years. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Associated Press &ndash; As the Bush administration pushes to refer Iran to the U.N.
