Q+A - What's in and behind the Iran sanctions draft?


UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China agreed this week on a draft sanctions U.N. Security Council resolution against Iran over its nuclear programme.

The 15-nation council has the resolution and is expected to vote on it in the coming weeks. If approved, it will impose a fourth round of U.N. sanctions against Tehran for refusing to suspend an uranium enrichment program Western powers fear is for developing weapons but Iran says is for civilian purposes.
