A country with peaceful intent would fully comply with its Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty commitments, not threaten to withdraw from them. We agree with the EU and a growing majority of the board that the time has come to report Iran's non-compliance to the UN Security Council.

The reason why we're reporting this to the Security Council is to move diplomacy to a new phase so we can see if we can achieve a political settlement.
