Russia, China and Iran Sanctions

The Times: Reports that Russia and China could support UN sanctions against Iran due to the recent report by the UN's IAEA that Iran might be working on a nuclear warhead for a missile. This is the real test for the Obama Administration in 201o, if President Obama can get tough sanctions on Iran then Israel might actually think that Obama and the UN is serious about taking action against Iran. The test will be in the sanction themselves, they have to hit the Regime in Tehran, they have to cripple the economy of Iran. If the sanctions are mild or water down to get total UN support then Israel will take action, the recent hit job by Israel should be waring to the UN, Israel at the end of the day will protect its right to exist, thus we shall see if Obama's new approach to diplomacy works, either he wins or loses. In this case the grade will not be on the curve, that simple folks, either Obama prevents a nuclear armed Iran or Israel will have to strike Iran.
