(CNSNews.com) - A senior Iranian government envoy is visiting China to bolster support for a long-time ally, amid a new U.S. push for Security Council sanctions over Tehran's controversial nuclear program.
Beijing was quick to endorse an "action plan," which Iran and the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog chief Mohamed ElBaradei agreed upon last month. The plan set a rough timetable -- several months -- for Iran to answer questions about its nuclear activities and allows for some new inspections.
But the U.S., supported by European allies, said Iran could use the plan as a further delaying tactic.
