For diplomacy to succeed we will need to use the full range of diplomatic tools available to the Security Council.

We're concerned that Iran's activities pose an increasing threat to international peace and security. Iran's pattern of deception, its concealment, its confrontational approach, increasingly worries the world community.

We are convinced that we have a solid majority in support of a resolution that reports Iran to the Security Council, and that majority is growing.

There'll be a lot of diplomacy going on. There's no question that all 15 member states of the Security Council are important and will all be talked to.
