Britain means peaceful pressure on Iran
The British Foreign Minister William Hague pledged Friday that London's new coalition government will work closely with the Obama administration to secure new sanctions against Iran.
Hague promised a "strong continuity of British policy" on Iran under the new coalition, saying its approach resembled that taken by the previous Labour Government. "The United Kingdom will work solidly alongside the United States to secure the Security Council resolution," William Hague said.
When asked if the UK and the U.S. might be forced to discuss military action against Iran, Hague said: "We've never ruled out supporting, in the future, military action, but we're not calling for it."
