I see a breaking news banner on msnbc about this just now. So what does this mean?

[HAL9000]

Iran has made numerous threats to ramp up their nuclear activities if the IAEA refers the matter to the Security Council.

"So what does this mean?" Same as usual...Hans Blix sends a letter.

Kim Jong Il: Hans Brix? Oh no! Oh, herro. Great to see you again, Hans!

Hans Blix: Mr. Il, I was supposed to be allowed to inspect your palace today, but your guards won't let me enter certain areas.

Kim Jong Il: Hans, Hans, Hans! We've been frew this a dozen times. I don't have any weapons of mass destwuction, OK Hans?

Hans Blix: Then let me look around, so I can ease the UN's collective mind. I'm sorry, but the UN must be firm with you. Let me in, or else.

Kim Jong Il: Or else what?

Hans Blix: Or else we will be very angry with you... and we will write you a letter, telling you how angry we are.

Kim Jong Il: Hans Brix? Oh no! Oh, herro. Great to see you again, Hans!

"what does this mean?"

It means nothing. These people will sit in their thumbs for years "agonizing" over what to do.

[standing united]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn! It means that the UN has now given Iran 10 years to stop their illicit activity concerning nuclear weapons development, or they will really hear from the UN.

Don't hold your breath.

[Cinnamon]

it means the UN will now engage in decades of silly hand slapping Iran...

[finnman69]

It's on.

The coming Iranian US war that is.

[hershey]

It means we waste more time. Bush bowed to the EU and went the diplomatic route -- which everyone knew would never work. The end is in sight and it ain't pretty.
