Is this justified?
How effective is this likely to be?

The UN Security Council unanimously approved a tough resolution yesterday evening authorising sanctions against Iran for refusing to suspend its uranium enrichment programme, bringing to an end two months of often fractious negotiations aimed at pressuring Tehran to clarify its nuclear ambitions.

The resolution orders all countries to ban the supply of specified materials and technology that could contribute to Iran's nuclear and missile programmes. It also imposes an asset freeze on key companies and individuals involved in the programmes named on a UN list.
...
The final breakthrough came after a telephone call yesterday between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President George Bush to break the deadlock on the Security Council.

to begin, there is absolutely no evidence (none, zero, nada, zilch) that iran is attempting to produce weapons grade uranium, so this UN action is without merit.

but just for the sake of argument.....if the rogue state of israel can have a bomb, why can't iran? has iran ever attacked a neighbor? (i'm more or less referring to the last century, and specifically the current theocracy) even when saddam used chemical weapons in the iran/iraq war, iran did not respond in kind.

IMO no nation should have nuclear weapons, but it is absurd for the US govt. to assume they have the right to determine who has them.
