A draft UN resolution on new sanctions against Iran will include calls for trade curbs and a travel ban for Iran's nuclear scientists, diplomats say.
The US, UK, France, Russia, China and Germany have agreed to put the draft measures to the UN security council, the BBC's Laura Trevelyan has learned.
Two sets of UN sanctions have already been imposed on Iran, to punish it for continuing to enrich uranium.
Iran denies claims that it wants to use the technology to build a nuclear bomb.
The proposed sanctions include calls for restrictions on government-backed trade with Iran, and also cargo controls to ensure countries are not selling anything to Iran which would help it make a nuclear bomb.
It has taken the five permanent Security Council members and Germany months to agree the measures.
