Iran must stop enrichment to avoid sanctions: Rice

Jeddah (Saudi Arabia), Oct 3: The international community will have no choice but to impose sanctions on Iran if it fails to suspend uranium enrichment, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said today.

Speaking in Saudi Arabia at the beginning of a tour of Middle East countries, Rice reiterated that the United States has no indication that Iran intends to suspend enrichment. She said the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany would consult ''shortly'' on Iran.
