He asked the nation to focus instead on the conflict with the United States. At the same time, Foreign Minister Sadegh Ghotbzadeh said he and Khomeini agreed the U.N. Security Council resolutions on the U.S.-Iran crisis was a "step forward" to negotiated settlement, the official Pars news agency reported. The crisis centers on demands that the ousted shah be sent to Iran in return for the release of 50 American hostages held in the occupied U.S. Embassy since Nov. 4. At the White House, meanwhile, spokesmanJody Powell denied President Carter had told Congressmen he was hopin~ a policy of economic denial - "turning the screws a little tighter' every few days · would induce Iran to free the hostages. Speaking to a group of about 100 House members Wednesday night at the White House, Carter was reponed by J?articipants as having outlined a series of economic measures he ts prepared to take to end the crisis. But Powell said the president spoke mainly about actions already taken and "!n process," rather t~an laying o1:1t Er~spective moves. Powell said the administration found Ghotzbadeh's statement on the U.N. resolution "interesting." Powell said "we will have to see what, if anything, develops" as a result of the statement.
