Annan told reporters today he hopes the parties involved work to avoid any further confrontation. He said he does not expect the issue of Iran's cooperation with the IAEA to be brought before the UN Scurity Council in the "foreseeable future."
He said he has encouraged those states wishing to bring the matter to the council to have clear ideas on what action they would expect the council to take.
U.S. officials have repeatedly threatened to push for Security Council action because of a Iran's withholding of information on its nuclear activities.
Council action could include economic sanctions.
