The era of the strongly worded communiqué
The AP reports that the hammer has come down hard on the Iranian regime:
In a blow to Iran, the board of the U.N. nuclear agency on Friday overwhelmingly backed a demand from the U.S., Russia, China and three other powers that Tehran immediately stop building its newly revealed nuclear facility and freeze uranium enrichment…
It also censured Iran for secretly building a uranium enrichment facility and demanded that it immediately suspend further construction. It noted that IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei cannot confirm that Tehran’s nuclear program is exclusively geared toward peaceful uses, and expressed “serious concern” that Iran’s stonewalling of an IAEA probe means “the possibility of military dimensions to Iran’s nuclear program” cannot be excluded.
Brown called the resolution “the strongest and most definitive statement yet made by the countries who are very worried about nuclear ambitions on the part of Iran.”
That’ll show ‘em. After all, it worked so well with Iran before. And North Korea. And on and on. Pathetic.
