What is the status of Iran's nuclear program? ABC and NBC both had their White House correspondent file on a new round of United Nations sanctions against Teheran approved by the Security Council. By a 12-2 vote, some sales of heavy weapons will be banned; cargo inspections will be more rigorous; and banking transfers will be limited. NBC's Chuck Todd reported that Iran is being accused by the White House of the "continued pursuit of nuclear weapons." In introducing Jake Tapper's report on ABC, anchor Diane Sawyer did not go to far as to allege that weapons were involved, just that Iran's program is "nuclear." Tapper did not characterize the program in any way. All he did was quote Barack Obama's generalization that "a nuclear arms race in the Middle East is in nobody's interest." CBS did not mention the sanctions, even in passing.
