| From the very beginning of Iran's nuclear case, Americans have been acting politically against Iran's peaceful nuclear activities. So whenever the International Atomic Energy Agency reports positively regarding Iran's nuclear activities, America increases its pressure on the agency...

| This is a small success for the international community although, once again, unity was only possible because earlier sanctions, which were rather weak, have been tightened somewhat. This will not bring Iran to its knees. And there is every indication that uranium enrichment within the (allegedly purely) civilian nuclear programme will continue - despite the halt that has now been demanded for the third time. | This is a small success for the international community although, once again, unity was only possible because earlier sanctions, which were rather weak, have been tightened somewhat.

| The new resolution introducing sanctions against Iran, approved by the UN Security Council, might have no effect. Moreover, it was not easily adopted.
