According to CNN the U.N. Security council has passed another resolution calling on Iran to halt its nuclear ambitions by August 31st or face the threat of economic sanctions.
CNN Story on U.N. Iran Resolution
The thing that is especially worrisome here is that Iran has already said if they passed this resolution which they have then it would escalate the crisis and not defuse it. Because all of us who are keeping up with these issues know Iran isn't going to budge and come Aug. 31 something even more insane is going to happen if it doesn't before hand.
I'm waiting to see what Iran will do in response to the passage of this resolution and then what will happen in response to their response. In short I can see this going nowhere good and making it there quickly.
I keep hoping, wishing, and praying that someone with some sense will diffuse this crisis so that yet another war doesn't breakout which it seems destined to do. Because if the U.N. passes a sanctions resolution at the end of August then the real ugliness would begin. Plus with Chavez now declaring he is a partner with Iran the Oil situtation could get even uglier.
