Iran comes tumbling down

Iran has proved its stupidity in a rather impressive way. On Tuesday, Iran, with IAEA observing, removed the UN seals on its uranium enrichment equipment and declared it was going to resume research into uranium enrichment. Already, England and Germany are really pissed. They want to put Iran before the Security Council.

The only roadblocks to sanctions as far as I know are Russia and China. They are the only countries that have been supporting Iran. But, as far as I know, China's getting a little annoyed and Russia's offer to allow Iran to enrich uranium on Russian soil was rejected twice. I doubt they'll veto a sanction vote, but they may or may not vote for sanctions.

This could make for a dangerous situation. Iran is being VERY beligerant and could start a war just because. If Iran is sanctioned, I can only hope that they actually DO something, not like "sanctions" against Iraq, which only the US took seriously.
