Obama mulling 'consequences' for Iran

Reported by France 24 on Thursday, 19 November 2009 (on November 19, 2009)

President Barack Obama warned Thursday that the United States and its partners were working on a package of steps to show Iran the "consequences" of its decision to snub a nuclear deal with world powers.Obama significantly upped pressure on Tehran after it rejected UN-backed efforts to send most of its stocks of low-enriched uranium abroad, escalating a showdown with the West over its nuclear drive.But the Islamic republic hit back, warning that the framing of any new sanctions would recall past attempts to contain Iran and would fail to change its behaviour.
