Rebuke Recasts Standoff with Iran
(Wall Street Journal) David Crawford and Jay Solomon - U.S. officials said stronger-than-expected support for the measure reflected international consensus that Iran's nuclear ambitions need to be checked. U.S. officials said they were particularly pleased that the Chinese took part in writing the draft resolution the IAEA board passed. Officials said the final resolution included specific wording offered by Beijing. Discussions have focused on eight "baskets" of areas that could be targeted, including Iranian banks, shipping companies, insurance firms and energy assets. U.S. officials said they have also focused on the assets of Iran's elite military unit, the Revolutionary Guard.
