The double standards and the cheek of it though! How often do Israel, America or any other country for that matter get a hard time and sanctioned over their nuclear weapons - Zilch, never!

A new sanctions package designed to put pressure on Iran over its nuclear
programme has been agreed by the six countries handling the issue at the UN. The
British ambassador immediately sent the draft to the 10 non-permanent Security
Council members, who have not been included in the negotiations. The package
includes an arms embargo and economic penalties.
Iran insists its nuclear programme is peaceful, but Western governments say
it wants to develop nuclear weapons. Last December, the Security Council voted
unanimously to impose a first, limited set of sanctions against Iran for
refusing to halt uranium enrichment. The latest package includes extending
a freeze of assets to those linked to Iran's nuclear and missile programmes and
a ban on new grants and loans to the state.
Before the draft was presented, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
vowed the initiative would not sway his country.
