UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. Security Council approved a third round of sanctions Monday against Iran for refusing to suspend uranium enrichment.

The decision came from the United Nations about 2 p.m. EST.

Earlier Monday, the chief U.N. nuclear inspector urged Iran to stop stonewalling his experts and cooperate over indications it may have tried to make atomic arms under the cover of a civilian nuclear program.

A senior Iranian official said such allegations were "fabricated." But a U.S. envoy repeated Washington's assertions that Tehran tried to make such weapons in the past.
