    Pannonian, got it right - but, I don't believe it is a clean sheet or allows for open demands from Iran. It does, however, force Iran into a possition of compliance with the UN sanctions concerning nuclear development, or face economic sanctions from even their good buds in China and Russia (er, maybe).

    I seriously doubt the Iran leadership will comply, believing their "oil card" as being the only trump they need to encourage some States (atleast China) to ignore what ever sanctions maybe applied.

    Further, it is only a win for Iran if they cease their uranium enrichment program, and allow UN inspectors into "all" their nuclear facilities. Sound at all familiar? [reference UN sanctions imposed on Iraq - prior to US invasion]

    their "oil card": Pew, I spit on it. It is a promise, in 3 years, all the petrol stations in France will be equipped with Bio-carburant. A least it what said the French Minister in charge. And he even show a new Peugeot equipped with an engine which can use (and recognises then adapts) both petrol and the new bio-thing.
    NOW the question is why did “they” wait so long to build this car and to show this engine?
    Good new for the farmers from all countries. They will be part of the Future of oil companies. Euh, is it a good news?

    I will wait to by a new car, I can use buses, tram and I go by foot to work, anyway.

    A local barber shop installed a new robotic barber to take some off the
    pressure off the owner. A fellow came in for a haircut and after being told
    about the "new barber" decided he would give it a try.
    As the robot began to cut his hair, it asked the man, "What's your IQ?" The
    man replied, "140." So the robot proceeded to make conversation about
    physics, astronomy, investments, insurance, and so on. The man listened
    intently and said "This is really cool."

    Later another man who was waiting for a haircut stepped up to the robot's
    chair, sat down and the robot asked him before beginning his haircut,
    "What's your IQ?" The man replied "100." So the robot started talking about
    football, baseball, and so on. This man too thought to himself "Wow! This
    is really cool."

    Next, a third man stepped up to the robot's chair, seated himself and the
    robot, as with the others, asked him "What's your IQ?" The man replied "30."

    The robot then said, "Shame Bush can't run again, eh?"
