The United States is working with other permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany on another Security Council resolution on Iran, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said in an interview released by the State Department on Thursday.
"We are going to work on another Security Council resolution," Rice said.
Rice said that by working with Britain, France, Russia, China, or the four other permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, and Germany, two U.N. Security Council resolutions have been passed against Iran.
Moreover, the United States is putting "a lot of pressure" on Iran's economy by sanctioning Iran's banks as well as individuals, Rice said.
Washington has accused Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons under the cover of a civilian nuclear program. Iran has denied U.S. charges and insisted that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.
