UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The U.N. Security Council unanimously approved on Saturday new arms and financial sanctions against Iran for refusing to suspend uranium enrichment.

The package of sanctions, aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear program, targets the country's arms exports, its state-owned Bank Sepah and the elite Revolutionary Guards. The 15-member body would suspend the sanctions if Iran halted enrichment.

The new measures are a follow-up to a resolution adopted on December 23 banning trade in sensitive nuclear materials and ballistic missiles, as well as freezing assets of individuals and institutions associated with atomic programs.

Not much they can legitimately do about the Brits; the sailors 'confessed' to being in Iranian waters, and it's a nasty case of turnabout given how many Iranians are being 'detained'. Doesn't make it right, but does make it alot more complicated.
