A new draft UN Security Council resolution today on Iran's disputed nuclear programme intensifies sanctions, travel bans and asset freezes, according to a senior US official.  

Foreign ministers from the five permanent UNSC members - Britain, China, France, Russia and the US - plus Germany agreed to the new resolution at talks in Berlin.

The official said the US was pleased as it told the Iranians they were not out of the woods yet.
