U.N. Security Council votes unanimously to impose sanctions on Iran

UNITED NATIONS - The U.N. Security Council unanimously approved a resolution Saturday imposing sanctions against Iran for refusing to suspend uranium enrichment, culminating two months of negotiations aimed at pressuring Tehran to clarify its nuclear ambitions.

The resolution orders all countries to ban the supply of specified materials and technology that could contribute to Iran’s nuclear and missile programs. It also imposes an asset freeze on key companies and people in the country’s nuclear and missile programs named on a U.N. list.

If Iran refuses to comply, the resolution warns Iran that the council will adopt further nonmilitary sanctions.

The Iraqi resistance has broken the back of the neo cons, two years ago it would have been pictures from the accurate satellites pinpointing accurately WMD’s in Iran and a report by the British Intelligence on how Iran could wipe the world in 30 minutes. Now all that has gone, bruised and beaten neo cons are saying please comply with our humble request or we will apply further sanctions. Time for Iran to say “Bring them on”.

Because Iran is so mighty? What exactly would Iran want to be brought on anyways? More sanctions? Military action?

Re: U.N. Security Council votes unanimously to impose sanctions on Iran

Iraq wasn't mighty either but it is the marines of the all mighty and powerful who want to run from there not the puny and powerless Iraqi's. I am sure there is a lesson in there for the mighty one .

Iran would want the marines to brought on, that is if they need more lessons in how to lose a war.

True, the U.S. doesn't understand the art of occupation yet but don't confuse that with military excellence, it does afterall excel at the art of war.

Re: U.N. Security Council votes unanimously to impose sanctions on Iran

Euros for trading their oil.. pretty much like Saddam did before resolutions were thrown at him.. seems like de ja vu

Re: U.N. Security Council votes unanimously to impose sanctions on Iran

How many more children will die? Why no sanctions on Israel? Or North Korea? Another proxy war for Israel?

Re: U.N. Security Council votes unanimously to impose sanctions on Iran

erm the russian deal with iran on nukes is exempt, pretty kewl sanctions eh? :omg:

nevertheless iran has been used to sanctions for the past decades, its only ever come out much stronger. Secondly, the UN resolution would have slightly more credibilty, if they’d used the same set of rules on all countries. Having one rule for one nation and another set of rules for another to follow, kinda makes them a laughing stock more than anything else. You can pretty much see whose pulling those strings. :halo:

“From Sunday morning, we will begin activities at Natanz - site of 3,000-centrifuge machines - and we will drive it with full speed. It will be our immediate response to the resolution,” Ali Larijani told the Kayhan newspaper.

Re: U.N. Security Council votes unanimously to impose sanctions on Iran

this really hints at legitimising future military action. i hope iran pulls something special out of the hat.

does anyone know which countries voted?

Re: U.N. Security Council votes unanimously to impose sanctions on Iran

U.S. excels at occupying a 3rd world country and that also due to superiority of its armament rather than the bravery of its soldiers but finds it cannot win the war, reference, Vietnam, Lebanon, Somalia and now Afghanistan and Iraq.
