UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Iran's foreign minister will meet with the United States and other members of the Security Council Thursday, diplomats said, as Tehran faces the possibility of a new round of U.N. sanctions over its nuclear program.
World
"The Iranian mission is hosting all members of the Security Council this evening," a U.N. diplomat told Reuters on condition of anonymity. "All countries will be represented."
Several diplomats said that the U.N. ambassadors of the United States, Britain and France would not be attending the meeting with Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki organized by Iran's U.N. mission, but would be sending deputies instead.
Another council diplomat said the majority of the other 12 council members would sending their ambassadors.
Washington does not have formal diplomatic relations with Iran and rarely participates in meetings with Iranian officials outside of the United Nations.
"We see this as an opportunity for Iran to show the council that they're prepared to play by the rules and meet their obligations," A U.S. official said, explaining why Washington would participate in Thursday's meeting.
"Iran has been offered many opportunities to prove the peaceful nature of its nuclear program," the official added.
"This meeting is another indication of the lengths the Iranians are going to make their case," he said. "They clearly recognize that the ongoing efforts in the Security Council and elsewhere are isolating them and doing them harm."
Another Western diplomat on the council said the meeting proved the council was continuing to pursue a "dual-track approach" with Iran -- negotiations combined with the threat of sanctions.
"We want to keep talking," the diplomat said.
Washington and its Western allies suspect Iran of developing nuclear weapons under cover of a civilian atomic energy program.
Tehran insists that its nuclear ambitions are limited to the peaceful generation of electricity, but has refused to halt sensitive activities that could enable it to develop weapons.
The United States, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany have been negotiating for weeks on a draft resolution that would impose a fourth round of sanctions on Iran for refusing to halt its uranium enrichment program.
The proposal, drafted by the United States, calls for new curbs on Iranian banking, a full arms embargo, tougher steps against Iranian shipping, moves against members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and firms they control and a ban on new investments in Iran's energy sector.
Diplomats say that both Russia and China have problems with the proposed arms embargo, energy investment ban and other punitive measures included in the U.S. draft.
Washington and its allies had hoped the Security Council could vote on a new U.N. sanctions resolution by the end of last month, but diplomats say negotiations could drag on at least until June.

The walkouts and not attending meetings they’ve been invited to only goes to show the hostility of the US, UK, and France. If I was Iran, I would build as many nuclear weaspons and as quickly as possible. Living in peace and security is not a monopoly of the West.

Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty
The NPT consists of a preamble and eleven articles. Although the concept of “pillars” appears nowhere in the NPT, the treaty is nevertheless sometimes interpreted as a three pillar system, with an implicit balance among them:
non-proliferation,
disarmament, and
the right to peacefully use nuclear technology.
Article I:Each nuclear-weapons state (NWS) undertakes not to transfer, to any recipient, nuclear weapons, or other nuclear explosive devices, and not to assist any non-nuclear weapon state to manufacture or acquire such weapons or devices.
Article II: Each non-NWS party undertakes not to receive, from any source, nuclear weapons, or other nuclear explosive devices; not to manufacture or acquire such weapons or devices; and not to receive any assistance in their manufacture.
Article III: Each non-NWS party undertakes to conclude an agreement with the IAEA for the application of its safeguards to all nuclear material in all of the state’s peaceful nuclear activities and to prevent diversion of such material to nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices.
Article IV: 1. Nothing in this Treaty shall be interpreted as affecting the inalienable right of all the Parties to the Treaty to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes without discrimination and in conformity with Articles I and II of this Treaty.
2. All the Parties to the Treaty undertake to facilitate, and have the right to participate in, the fullest possible exchange of equipment, materials and scientific and technological information for the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. Parties to the Treaty in a position to do so shall also co-operate in contributing alone or together with other States or international organizations to the further development of the applications of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, especially in the territories of non-nuclear-weapon States Party to the Treaty, with due consideration for the needs of the developing areas of the world.
Article VI. The states undertake to pursue “negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to cessation of the nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear disarmament”, and towards a “Treaty on general and complete disarmament under strict and effective international control”.
Article X. Establishes the right to withdraw from the Treaty giving 3 months’ notice. It also establishes the duration of the Treaty (25 years before 1995 Extension Initiative).
THERE IS NO SINGLE CREDITABLE EVIDENCE THAT IRAN FLOUTS THE NPT RULES OR DEVELOPES NUKES.
