More toothless sanctions by the UN.

Iran fears Cyrus Vance more than UN sanctions.

It's interesting to see France, Russia, and China agree to public slaps at Iran.

Ahmadinejad must not be feeling much love about right now.

Should be plenty of bluster from Iran's mouthpiece.

To match the "bluster" that just came out of the UN.

Sanctions should be enforced by closing the Straits of Hormuz to Iranian traffic until the marines are returned.

What hurts Iran from their point of view is the humiliation factor in this resolution- it really doesn't matter that it does or doesn't have any teeth.

Totally worthless. The time to do something was when the Brits were being surrounded. Imagine the sick feeling they must have had to see their commander do nothing.

The article says "moderately tougher" sanctions. Somehow I can't see that amounting to too much.

Set Condition 3 throughout the ship. The smoking lamp is out. All gunners mates to their general quarters stations. Make preparations to darken ship.

I agree - the sanctions will be toothless. Ahmedine-nazi didn't help his own case by bailing out of coming to New York to defend his own country and its nuclear policies. He's achieved the remarkable result of getting the entire world united against him and the mullahs. Quite an accomplishment!

Withdraw from the UN and give them 1 month to vacate.
UN sanctions. What's that? A statement they they've been bad.

...so? Does anyone actually follow UN sanctions or just the US?

I actually read a few pundits deduce that the reason Iran took the Bristish sailors hostage was to shift attention away from the sanctions vote. It obviously didn't work.

Iran is in deep economic crisis and the sanctions, as toothless as they seem, will only sink the Iranian economy deeper.

Ultimately, it will not be sanctions that finally control the Iranians...

If Iran does not want a host of Royal Marines dropping in for a visit they better let those men go.
