Tehran denies Western accusations that it is trying to build a nuclear weapon.

On Tuesday, Iran's president said the sanctions were "illegal" in a speech at the UN General Assembly in New York.

2. Why do I have a feeling he's throwing a tantrum and throwing things

at the wall. Of course, he's also liable to declare that "we can no longer wait for the UN" and commence to bombing. Not like he hasn't done it before.

8. Russia put the brakes on Bush

Russia's foreign minister said additional sanctions were not warranted until the U.N. nuclear agency finished its work.

Without Russia's support, Bush's plans for harsher sanctions were going to go no where.
