UN powers agree on new Iran draft

Permanent members of the UN Security Council - and Germany - have agreed on the contents of a new draft resolution of fresh sanctions against Iran.

The announcement was made by the German foreign minister after talks in Berlin with his counterparts from the US, France, the UK, Russia and China.

The US and its European allies want a third set of sanctions over Iran's refusal to suspend uranium enrichment.

Iran insists its nuclear programme is for energy, not military purposes.

"Today we together agreed on the content of such a new resolution," German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said afterwards.

He said it would be submitted by Germany, France and the UK, for discussion by the full Security Council.
