Reporter: Well, it was an exclusive interview of the Los Angeles Times in which you indicated that you're considering making a coalition of the willing, if you will, which will be able to impose sanctions on Iran, fearing that the Security Council will not go along this time with the sanctions resolution. Have you, in that case, decided upon a coalition? Who will be the members in coalition?

Ambassador Bolton: That's not what I said, and that's not what they reported. What I said was that you can envision sanctions being imposed outside of the Security Council, as the United States has unilaterally imposed sanctions on Iran pursuant to its own statutes, and other governments can do the same. So the question of what to do about Iran is certainly not confined to the Security Council.
