Washington: Iran should stop enriching uranium and other reprocessing activities or face the possibility of further sanctions, the White House said on Monday.
"The Iranian regime's continued defiance only further isolates the Iranian people," said White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe.
Johndroe's comments came after a UN agency reported that Iran was stalling its nuclear inquiry.
"We urge Iran to suspend its uranium enrichment and reprocessing activities or face further implementation of the existing United Nations Security Council sanctions and the possibility of new sanctions," he said.
