| UN Approves New Sanctions Against Iran - Will Iran Fight Back? |
| 2008-03-03 |
| The U.N. Security Council approved a third round of sanctions against Iran on Monday with near unanimous support, sending a strong signal to Tehran that its refusal to suspend uranium enrichment is unacceptable and becoming increasingly costly. For the first time, the resolution bans trade with Iran in goods which have both civilian and military uses. The vote was 14-0 with one abstention from Indonesia. Iran's U.N. Ambassador Mohammad Khazee told the council just before the vote that the government would not comply with the "unlawful action" against its "peaceful nuclear program." Anticipating this, I wonder if Iran has planned for a Lebanon/Israel attack to show its displeasure? |
