For awhile there, it looked as though the toothless watchdog agency which “oversees peaceful nuclear activity” was never going to refer Iran to the Security Council. Well, they finally did:

Two permanent council members, Russia and China, agreed to referral only on condition the council take no action before March.
Twenty-seven nations supported the resolution, which was sponsored by three European powers — Britain, France and Germany — and backed by the United States.
Cuba, Syria and Venezuela were the only nations to vote against. Five others — Algeria, Belarus, Indonesia, Libya and South Africa — abstained, a milder form of showing opposition.
Among those backing the referral was India, a nation with great weight in the developing world whose stance was unclear until the vote.

Russia and China’s “condition” is interesting...I wonder if something will happen this month? I guess we’ll have to wait and see. Looks like the rest of the vote went “along party lines.”
It’s also a good thing India supported the referral. Although we treated the Indians in such a way as to drive them to the Soviet sphere of influence during the Cold War, it’s much better to have them on our side in this fight. After all, they’ve seen more than their fair share of violence over the years.
Now, we wait and see what the Iranians will do. Tick...tick...tick...
