The United States warned on Monday that it might take Iran to the United Nations Security Council for possible sanctions if Teheran would resume uranium enrichment programs.

"If they're not going to abide by their agreement and obligations, then we would have to look to the Security Council," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.

According to Iran's official IRNA news agency, Iranian technicians will break UN seals on the Isfahan nuclear plant on Monday and allow uranium processing to be resumed.

The United States has accused Iran of developing nuclear weapons programs under the cover of civilian nuclear programs. Iran has denied such allegations.
