Today the resolution was passed. Of 35 countries, 27 countries voted to bring Iran to the security council, 3 countries(Syria, Cuba and Venezuela) voted against and 5 countries did not participate(Libya, South Africa, Algeria, Belarus and Indonesia.) In response Iran has said that it will resume enriching uranium and will stop allowing insepctions of it's nuclear sites. Javad Vaidi, the deputy head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council has said, "Until now we have only been researching uranium enrichment; now we have to start full-scale production." This was only a few minutes after the vote. Now iran has 30 days to consider other options, prove that it's program is for nuclear power only and allow more cooperation with the countries. If it doesn't it will be facing possible sanctions.
