TEHRAN -- Conservatives and reformists are openly challenging President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's hard-line nuclear diplomacy -- an unusual agreement across Iran's political spectrum, with many saying his provocative remarks have isolated the country. The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously last month to impose sanctions on Iran for refusing to halt uranium enrichment. Some critics view the sanctions as an indication that Iran must change its policy.
Reformists demand that Iran dispel fears that it is seeking to build atomic weapons. ''Resisting the U.N. Security Council resolution will put us in a more isolated position,'' said the Islamic Iran Participation Front, the largest reformist party.
