U.S. President George W. Bush hailed on Monday the UN Security Council resolution on Iran and said it is important to send a unified message to Iran.

"It's a strong resolution. I want to thank our partners," Bush said in Miami, Florida.

"I want to thank our allies on this very important resolution and remind the American people that we've had a strategy in place to send a common message, a unified message, to the Iranian leadership," Bush said.

"The Iranians must hear loud and clear with this resolution, the world is intent upon working together to make sure that they do not end up with a nuclear weapon or the know-how to build a nuclear weapon," Bush said.

Earlier on Monday, the UN Security Council passed Resolution 1696 ordering Iran to suspend uranium enrichment.
