It’s hard to have much faith in the U.N. to sharpen a pencil, let alone act against a rogue Islamist state. The U.N.’s track record makes the Keystone Cops look brilliant.
NY Times: Security Council Adds Sanctions Against Iran By WARREN HOGE and ELAINE SCIOLINO
The resolution authorizes inspections of cargo to and from Iran that is suspected of carrying prohibited equipment, tightens the monitoring of Iranian financial institutions and extends travel bans and asset freezes against persons and companies involved in the nuclear program.
It adds 13 names to the existing list of 5 individuals and 12 companies subject to travel and asset restrictions. The new names include people with direct responsibility for building fast-spinning centrifuges that enrich uranium ore and a brigadier general engaged in “efforts to get around the sanctions” in the two earlier resolutions.
