Western diplomats at the UN are working on the first stages of a resolution that proposes further sanctions against Iran over its nuclear programme.
The measures include expanding travel bans and asset freezes on people connected with the nuclear industry.
The move comes despite Iran’s apparent acceptance of a deal to send most of its low-enriched uranium abroad in return for research reactor fuel rods.
Washington has called on Iran to match its words with actions.
Why bother. They will be ignored and never enforced. Iran has powerful protectors in the form or Russia and China and the West has no will to do anything.
