Nothing to do with the trip to China

I'm sure that this has nothing to do with Bush's trip to China who has a veto vote on the UN Security Council.

The United States and Europe are to delay a possible move this week to refer Iran to the UN Security Council over its disputed nuclear program, diplomats said.

Instead, Russia -- which opposes a referral, something which could pave the way for sanctions -- will be given more time to broker a compromise deal.

Moves to call on the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to bring Iran before the Security Council "will not happen at this week's meeting" of the IAEA in Vienna, a Western diplomat told AFP.
