This BS will never work.  Wake me when someone actually has the guts to take military action.

UNITED NATIONS —  The U.N. Security Council approved a third round of sanctions Monday against Iran for refusing to suspend uranium enrichment.

The decision came from the United Nations about 2 p.m. EST and was nearly unanimous, 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.”
