UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown and US President George W. Bush have warned Iran to accept their offers of partnership or face tough sanctions and international isolation.



The UK prime minister said he wanted to maintain dialogue with Tehran, but if Iran ignores United Nations resolutions then sanctions would be intensified.



In addition he said Europe would freeze overseas assets of Iran\'s biggest bank and impose new oil and gas sanctions.



An EU spokeswoman has said no new sanctions have been agreed.
