It's official. The UN Security Council has no crediblity left. The final nail in the coffin? Not this...
Mottaki said that the new round of sanctions lacked "technical and legal," justification and would discredit the Security Council.
But this:
At the prodding of the U.S. and its European allies, the U.N. Security Council passed a third round of sanctions on Iran Monday ordering assets to be frozen of additional Iranian officials and companies with links to the country's nuclear and missile program, and for the first time banned trade with Iran in some goods that have both civilian and military use. [emphasis mine]
The first time? Really? So that means that Russia, China, France, and whoever else is making money from Iran will have to start ignoring a ban just now? Because we know how well that worked with Saddam. Did they ever stop ignoring the trade bans with him? Seems like Saddam was getting weapons and equipment after several Security Council bans.
I'd say their credibility has been gone... events with Iran just keep confirming that.
