The former Soviet specialist will squeeze a Russian leg into a previously scheduled trip to France and Britain that focuses on shoring up support for the U.S. hard line against the Islamic Republic. 

The United States won a resolution last month at the 35-member U.N. nuclear watchdog for Iran to be reported to the U.N. Security Council for possible sanctions. But no deadline was set for the move and Rice is working the capitals of major powers to find ways of keeping the pressure on Iran.
