Iran threatens U.S. as it heads to UNSCR

TEHRAN (AP) - Iran threatened the United States with "harm and pain" March 8 for its role in taking Tehran to the U.N. Security Council over its nuclear program.

The end of the meeting of the 35-member board of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on March 8, where no agreement was reached, set the path for Security Council action, and IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei sent his report on Iran's nuclear program to the council March 9.

The United States and its European allies said Iran's nuclear intransigence left the world no choice. The Security Council could impose economic and political sanctions on Iran.

The March 8 meeting was in effect the last step before the Security Council begins considering Iran's nuclear activities and international fears they could be misused to make weapons.

"The United States has the power to cause harm and pain," said Ali Asghar Soltanieh, a senior Iranian delegate to the IAEA. "But the United States is also susceptible to harm and pain. So if that is the path that the U.S. wishes to choose, let the ball roll."
