WASHINGTON, May 24 (Reuters) - President George W. Bush said on Thursday that the United Nations should strengthen sanctions against Iran over its defiance of international demands to curb its nuclear program.

"My view is that we need to strengthen our sanctions regime," Bush told a news conference a day after U.N. monitors said Tehran was flouting demands to halt its sensitive nuclear work.

A protester struggles with police officers next to a mock funeral bier of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il during an anti-North Korea rally marking the 57th anniversary of the Korean War in Seoul June 25, 2007. The two Koreas are still technically at war since the 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice instead of a peace treaty. The words on Kim's portrait read: "Scrap North Korea's nuclear program".
