UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously Saturday to impose sanctions on Iran for refusing to suspend uranium enrichment, increasing international pressure on the government to prove that it is not trying to make nuclear weapons. Iran immediately rejected the resolution.

The result of two months of tough negotiation, the resolution orders all countries to stop supplying Iran with materials and technology that could contribute to its nuclear and missile programs. It also freezes Iranian assets of 10 key companies and 12 individuals related to those programs.

If Iran refuses to comply, the council warned it would adopt further nonmilitary sanctions, but the resolution emphasized the importance of diplomacy in seeking guarantees "that Iran's nuclear program is exclusively for peaceful purposes."

Iran insists its nuclear program is intended to produce energy, but the Americans and Europeans suspect its ultimate goal is the production of weapons.

The Iranian government immediately rejected the resolution, vowing in a statement from Tehran to continue enriching uranium, a technology that can be used to produce nuclear fuel for civilian purposes or fuel for a nuclear bomb. The government said it "has not delegated its destiny to the invalid decisions of the U.N. Security Council."

they are weak and meaningless. As for bombing, I don't think military action is authorized.

What should be done, although Russia and China would veto, is military sanctions. This will prevent Iran from getting anything they can use against anyone. With economic sanctions and military sanctions, Iran may be able to crack and come to negotiate.

why is it that the US is the country with the biggest arsenal of nuclear WMD's and the only nation to have ever used (two) on another nation gets to dictate how everybody else obtains and uses nuclear technology? It is inevitable that all countries will have to have nuclear technology eventually. It's not a matter of stopping them from obtaining it. It is a matter of negotiating with them on how they use it. Oil is not a renewable source of energy and it is apparent that all nations will have to resort to nuclear technology eventually.

Or the solution. There will be no military sanctions. China and Russia have already said they would veto that.

It is only a matter of time before Iran and many other countries have and use nuclear technology. Itl's not a matter of if, but it's a matter of when.

Unless your a arrogant hardheaded republican neocon who truly believes you can stop other countries from obtaining nuclear technology.
