Iran violating UN resolutions with impunity
US officials revealed this week that Iran has repeatedly violated UN Security Council resolutions in recent months by testing medium-range ballistic missiles. The UN committee charged with enforcing the resolutions have been notified and given evidence of the tests by Western intelligence agencies but so far no action has been taken. Meanwhile, inside Iran, reports continue to emerge of severe stress on civil society and government provided services, particularly in healthcare. The official IRNA news agency reported on Monday that an outbreak of Swine Flu has killed 33 people in the past three weeks, with hundreds more infected in several cities all over the country. Doctors have reported that many patients have a new strain of the virus which is proving difficult to treat.
