WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 (UPI) -- U.S. President George Bush said one of his main objectives in addressing the United Nations next week is to keep the world from allowing Iran to stall.
Bush said he has no plans to meet with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad even though both of them will be in New York next week for the parley.
Bush said Iran must be convinced to sit down to negotiations in good faith but the United States will not have any contact with the regime until Tehran agrees to give up its uranium enrichment program.
The U.N. Security Council is nearly unanimous in its opposition to Iran's nuclear program.
"My concern is that they'll stall. They'll try to wait us out. Part of my objective in New York is to remind people stalling shouldn't be allowed," Bush said.
"We're firmly committed in our desire to send a common signal."
