Iranian Spokesman: Tehran Working To Get US Visa for Iranian President
An Iranian official says his government is working to get a U.S. visa for President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad so he can address the U.N. Security Council.
The official told reporters in Tehran Tuesday that Iran's foreign ministry is working on the visa but the trip depends on when the Security Council will meet.
Mr. Ahmadinejad has said he wants to explain Iran's nuclear program to the Security Council.
The five permanent members of the council plus Germany are working on a new U.N. resolution that would impose more sanctions on Iran for its controversial program.
U.N. diplomats say the six world powers have made progress on a new resolution.
On Monday, a State Department spokesman said he doubts Mr. Ahmadinejad's appearance before the council would serve a positive purpose.
The United States and its allies suspect Iran is working to develop nuclear weapons, a charge Tehran denies.
