AP: UN unanimously approves Iran sanctions. "The result of two months of negotiation, the resolution orders all countries to stop supplying Iran with materials and technology that could contribute to its nuclear and missile programs. It also would freeze Iranian assets of key companies and individuals related to those programs. ... The resolution authorizes action under Article 41 of Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter. It allows the Security Council to impose nonmilitary sanctions such as severing diplomatic and economic relations, transportation and communications links." More here.
Update: Undersecretary of State Nick Burns: "We don't think this resolution is enough in itself ... We're certainly not going to put all of our eggs in a U.N. basket."
