Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday that five permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany have agreed on a draft resolution that would impose new sanctions on Iran, the Interfax reported.

The six countries brokering the peaceful solution to the Iranian nuclear problem reaffirm their tentative understanding of the UN Security Council's new draft resolution on Iran, Lavrov told U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over the phone on Wednesday.

"The Russian side confirmed that the five plus one group's tentative understanding of the draft resolution remains," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

"During the next stage, work will have to continue within the (UN) Security Council, where the council's non-permanent members will have a chance to express their attitude to the draft resolution," Lavrov said.
