U.N. IMPOSES WEAK SANCTIONS ON IRAN

UN Security Council Votes to Impose Sanctions on Iran - Maggie Farley
The UN Security Council voted unanimously Saturday to impose sanctions on Iran intended to curtail its nuclear program. The resolution bans the transfer of technology and materials that could help Iran build nuclear weapons and the missiles to deliver them. It also demands that Iran immediately suspend uranium enrichment and the reprocessing of spent fuel within 60 days or face further sanctions. Washington is urging its allies to build on the resolution with their own national sanctions. (Los Angeles Times)
