Over the week the U.N. Security Council, decided unanimously to impose new stricter sanctions on Iran. The resolution would freeze the assets of 28 additional individuals and organizations involved in Iran's nuclear and missile programs. About a third of those are linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, an elite military corps.
The resolution also calls for a voluntary travel embargo on Iranian officials and Revolutionary Guard commanders.
President Ahmadinejad, responded to the new sanctions over the weekend. Ahmadinejad, in an interview with France's Channel 2 TV network, warned nations "seeking to impose sanctions against Iran will suffer a greater damage themselves," IRNA reported.
I agree with the new U.N. Sanctions, the international community needs to use a strong hand when dealing with Iran. They are a threat to international security, that must be dealt with accordingly. I believe we should not use military force for as long as possible, however that may become necessary. It will only work though, if it is a multi-lateral force, and not just an American force.

i think the more pressing issue connected to all of this is the fact that iran has promised that those backing the sanctions (in theory all those in the un) willl pay. This is basically mounting up to be a world war, and with the british sailors capture, if someone doesn't defuse the situation quickkly getting worse
I would agree with you Seth, however I still hold some faith in the "democratic" process which exist in Iran, and I believe that government officials and the people are strongly opposing Ahmadinejad, the sanction have been hurting the country and continue to do so. It is putting their country in a very bad situation.
that is true if the economic pressure put on iran isn't picked up by the other islamic countries. thats always been the issue with sanctions on the middle east...we shall c
