July 20 (Bloomberg) -- China and Russia may be reneging on commitments to demand that Iran stop enriching uranium, a British diplomat said after giving the United Nations Security Council a resolution threatening the Islamic nation with economic penalties for refusing to comply.

"We have seen this happen before with China and Russia," U.K. Deputy Ambassador Karen Pierce said. "They think that if they can row back a bit, why not try?"

We are not in a rush at all," Churkin told reporters after a meeting yesterday on Iran with the U.S., U.K. France and China. "We are giving some freedom to Iran to respond. We do not want to dictate things to Iran."

Iran is not looking for frictions, but if others create a hostile and difficult atmosphere, everyone will have problems," the security body said. "If the path of confrontation is chosen instead of the path of dialogue and if there is any action to limit the absolute rights of the Iranian people, the Islamic Republic will have no choice but to revise its policy."
