Iranian leaders proposed a two-phase cease-fire with Iraq to
United Nations Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar on his
recent peace mission to the warring Persian Gulf nations, UN sources
were quoted as saying Thursday.
Perez de Cuellar briefed the Security Council in New York on his
talks and let it be known that the ball now was in the court of the
council's 15 members.
Although he did not succeed in getting Iran to accept UN
Resolution 598, which calls for a total cease-fire in the
seven-year-old conflict, he did not return with his hands empty.
Perez de Cuellar said Iranian leaders had presented him with a
unified view and "in that way, my mission has been useful."
