Hillary Promises 'Most Significant Sanctions Iran Has Ever Faced'

The AP reports that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton promised that the new proposed UN sanctions would be the toughest Iran had faced.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Tuesday called the proposed new U.N. sanctions against Iran's suspect nuclear program the toughest ever adopted, a day before the U.N. Security Council was expected to vote on the measure.

Clinton told reporters in Ecuador's capital that there is strong support for a fourth resolution penalizing Iran for its refusal to prove its nuclear program is peaceful and defying international demands to halt uranium enrichment.

"I think it is fair to say that these are the most significant sanctions that Iran has ever faced," Clinton said at a news conference with Ecuador's president. "The amount of unity that has been engendered by the international community is very significant."
