The United States said Thursday it will continue to work with allies and partners on a third U.N. Security Council resolution on Iran's nuclear programs.
"Our allies, the P-5-plus-1 continues to work forward on a third resolution for the U.N. Security Council," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said, referring to the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany.
"The ball is in Iran's court in order to come forward and be very truthful about its (nuclear) program or not," Perino said.
According to the U.S. intelligence report released on Dec. 3, Iran halted work toward a nuclear weapon in 2003 and is unlikely to be able to produce enough enriched uranium for a bomb until 2010 to 2015.
However, U.S. President George W. Bush asserted Tuesday Iran is still "dangerous" and urged the country to explain to the world why it had a secret nuclear weapons program.
Washington has accused Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons under the cover of a civilian nuclear program. Iran has denied U.S. charges and insisted that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.
