Nuclear Diplomacy in Iran
6:50am – Thursday 9 March  2006 

The International Atomic Energy Agency has referred Iran to the UN Security Council for possible sanctions over its controversial nuclear program.

But it won't be smooth sailing, as Russia, one of the five permanent members of the Security Council, says it will oppose sanctions against Iran when the council meets next week.

Paul Levental initiated the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act in the 1970s, which imposed stricter controls on US nuclear trade.

He is now president of the Nuclear Control Institute and joins Breakfast from Washington DC.
