Looks like all the ass kissing Islamic republic did wasnt enough.

Russia and china have agreed on iran sanctions.

Where are you getting this from Mr. T. China's about to send a delegation to Iran for further talks to avoid sanctions. At least that's what I understood.

April's fool day?

Its all over the news. China agreed to take part as well.

Mr, G.
I heard in morning news that China has agreed to sit down with other 4+1 permanent members of UNSC and "discuss" the issue of more sanction on Iran.
There is no agreement yet.
The news was on local ABC radio station, I'll dig their website and see where they got the report from.

April's fool day?

There is some merit to it but nothing concrete yet.

http://www.payvand.com/news/05/sep/iran-nuclear-iaea.jpgThe five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, plus Germany, have agreed to start drawing up new sanctions against Iran over its controversial nuclear program. The move signals that China, which has long been opposed to new sanctions, has finally dropped its opposition.

The decision was made in a conference call Wednesday among senior officials from the six powers - Britain, France, China, Russia, the United States and Germany.

At the United Nations, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who was co-chairing a pledging conference on Haiti, was asked whether the group unanimously agreed to move on to a new phase of sanctions.

"I think you accurately described the P5+1 position. It has been a unified, consultative group for more than a year now. It continues to be unified, and there will be a great deal of further consultation - not only among the P5+1, but other members of the Security Council and other member nations during the next weeks," she said.

She said that sanctions can be an effective part of negotiation.

"We happen to think that action in the Security Council is part of negotiation and diplomacy, and that, perhaps, can get the attention of the Iranian leadership," she said.

President Barack Obama said this week that he hoped to see a new sanctions resolution - this would be the fourth - in the Security Council in a matter "of weeks."

Those steps could include new sanctions against members of Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guards, as well as measures targeted against Iran's insurance and shipping sectors.

China, which has close trade ties with Iran, has been reluctant to agree to new measures. But White House spokesman Bill Burton said Wednesday that China knows it is not in its interest to have a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.

Iran's top nuclear negotiator will be in Beijing Thursday for talks with officials on his country's nuclear program. The international community fears Iran is trying to build nuclear bombs, not develop its nuclear capacity for peaceful purposes, as Tehran claims.

http://www.payvand.com/news/09/apr/Iran-G5+1-Nuclear-talks-ISNA.jpgIran's chief nuclear negotiator, Said Jalili, is visiting Beijing for talks with Chinese officials about the Iranian nuclear issue.

Jalili's visit follows announcements that China has apparently agreed to take part in serious negotiations with Western powers and Russia about a potential new round of United Nations sanctions against Iran over its nuclear activities.

The UN Security Council has already passed three rounds of targeted sanctions.

Western critics accuse Tehran of seeking nuclear weapons or at least the capability to produce them. Iran says its nuclear aims are purely civilian and that it is not pursuing nuclear weapons.

China, a veto-wielding member of the Security Council, has the power to block any new resolution and has previously been reluctant to back new steps against Iran.

But Western officials have said Beijing now appears ready to engage in negotiations on a possible fourth round of sanctions against Iran following Tehran's rejection of a UN-backed nuclear fuel deal that would have moved Iran's stocks of enriched uranium abroad for processing.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said the six world powers leading efforts to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions -- permanent Security Council members Britain, France, Russia, China, and the United States plus Germany -- are "unified" toward talks on a possible new round of sanctions.

Clinton was speaking on March 31 after officials said the so-called P5+1 had held a conference call to discuss launching consultations on a draft for a new sanctions resolution targeting Iran.

The whole situation can be resolved, if the most important banks that deals with Iran and the US, such as HSBC, are told to make a choice between the mullahs and the US. Obama should tell all the people who finance the mullahs, and have operations in the US, "you have to make a choice, it's either US or Iran's mullahs?".
