WASHINGTON — The Obama administration signaled Wed nesday that the United States would accept weakened U.N. sanctions against Iran as a way to quickly assemble a broad international coalition against Tehran’s nuclear program.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates said adoption of a new sanctions resolution by the U.N. Security Council is more vital than the actual measures taken. His comments were the clearest sign yet that the administration, facing continuing resistance from other countries to the harshest of the proposed measures, is lowering its sights in hopes of moving quickly to the next phase.
