Iranian president calls for abolition of all nuclear weapons (VIDEO)

The five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, led by US Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, continue working to draft a resolution to compel Syria to give up its chemical weapons stockpile.

Secretary Kerry is also meeting with Iran's foreign minister and top diplomats from other countries to discuss Iran's nuclear program. In a speech to the UN General Assembly earlier Thursday, newly elected Iranian President Hassan Rouhani called for the abolition of all nuclear weapons around the world.
