US envoy Kenneth Brill asserted that the resolution already found Iran in "noncompliance" -- and therefore pulled the "trigger" needed for Security Council involvement.
"The board will not countenance further evasive maneuvers by Iran," Brill told the meeting.
Later, he described Iran as being at a "crossroads."
"They can decide to continue down the well-worn path of the past -- almost 20 years of denial, deception and deceit -- or they can turn toward the path of a new chapter, wherein they really do come clean," he told reporters.
