UN Demands Iran Suspend Uranium Enrichment

[Beerina]

Suspend Uranium Enrichment, or we shall demand you suspend it a second time... (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,206372,00.html)

Maybe...just maybe it will work this time! :rolleyes:

Well, the main thing is that Russia and China have put their weight behind these demands, so if Iran "blatantly disregards our demands" it will make it harder for those two nations to oppose sanctions at in the future.

How likely do you believe it would be for China to approve sanctions against a country that supplies much of their oil when they're in the middle of such an economic boom?

Well, the Chinese government is trying to cool down the economy, so that might not be an issue; particularly as the lack of a solution might itself cause (even more) regional unstability and threaten Iran's oil export.

Well, perhaps we stand a chance after all.
