UNITED NATIONS (AFP) - Iran's UN envoy Javad Zarif on Thursday accused Britain and France of creating an artificial crisis with their draft UN resolution demanding a freeze on Tehran's uranium enrichment work. In his first public reaction to the text circulated Wednesday, Zarif said that "if it is an attempt to get Iran to agree, it is not a good one ... Iran does not respond to threats and intimidation."
