United Nations ? Russia and China insisted Friday that a Security Council resolution on Iran stress diplomacy and oversight of Tehran’s nuclear program instead of raising the threat of possible future action.

Those demands kept Russia and China at odds with the United States, Britain and France over a proposed draft resolution.

The three Western nations had been hoping the council would adopt the resolution before foreign ministers of six key nations meet Monday in New York to try to negotiate with Iran.

The council agreed to an informal meeting this afternoon.
