Obama to 'ratchet up' Iran pressure over nuclear plans

US President Barack Obama has vowed to "ratchet up the pressure" on Iran over its controversial nuclear programme.

Mr Obama told CBS television Iran was becoming increasingly isolated and the US wanted to enlist the help of "a unified international community".

Amid talk of new sanctions, he earlier telephoned Chinese President Hu Jintao to seek China's co-operation।

Their talks came as Iran's top nuclear official, Saeed Jalili, said in China that sanctions were "not effective".
