Washington said in a statement to a nuclear watchdog agency meeting, referring to possible sanctions. The statement, obtained by Reuters from a Western diplomat, said "the time has now come for the Council to act" as Iran had defied an International Atomic Energy Agency board resolution last month to suspend all nuclear fuel enrichment activity.

Okay if this follows the typical UN dynamic it will now take another twelve years for the UN to agree to an attack by joining a US led "coalition" which will feature a disproportionate amount of American troops on the front lines or in the air.

Let's cut the middleman out of the equation and do what we should have done decades ago: Break out the Neutron Bomb and liberate.....the oil.

That is an interesting thought though. By posturing the UN to take action, then it isn't a US invasion.

Legally, the UN has to.

If they don't, there goes their self perceived relevance.

threatening suggestion of some vague future action...
