UN Shows Weakness as usual.
Okey here is the story , cue the Russians with the Delay
UNITED NATIONS : The UN Security Council will vote on a slightly amended European draft resolution mandating UN nuclear-related sanctions on Iran Saturday, diplomats said late Friday.
“We have decided to meet for a vote tomorrow (Saturday) at 11:00am (1600 GMT)” on a new, slightly amended draft resolution put forward by European sponsors, France’s UN Ambassador Jean-Marc de La Sabliere told reporters after consultations of the 15-nation Security Council.
“We will take action tomorrow at 11:00am,” Qatar’s UN envoy Nasser Abdelaziz al-Nasser, who chairs the council for December, confirmed.
He added the vote would follow last-minute consultations among council members.
A Western diplomat close to the talks, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the latest draft resolution, which featured only a few cosmetic changes, would be endorsed overwhelmingly and possibly unanimously.
so lets say Iranian refuse and remains defiant……
The text warns that if Tehran refuses to comply with demands that it halt sensitive nuclear fuel work, the Security Council “shall adopt further appropriate measures under Article 41 of Chapter Seven” of the UN charter, a reference to non-military sanctions.
Is it just me or I thought Ahmadinejad said “The Enemy can’t do anything about it
Meanwhile at the UN, Iranian Ambassador Javad Zarif said suspension of enrichment activities was “not a solution,” that it was instead a “temporary, stop-gap measure” that didn’t work from November 2003 to February 206. Without specifying how Iran would react to the vote, he said the “days of bullying, pressure and intimidation by some nuclear-weapons holders are gone.”
Zarif said the Security Council was guilty of hypocrisy for taking no action against Israel after Prime Minister Ehud Olmert appeared to confirm recently that Israel has nuclear weapons. well then.
