Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the draft agreed on Tuesday did not require tough new measures against Tehran. But it does call for countries to be vigilant in their trade with Iran, Mr Lavrov said. Diplomats said on Tuesday the draft agreed by the foreign ministers of the five permanent Security Council members and Germany would impose new sanctions.
Mr Lavrov stressed the draft resolution did not mention strict sanctions, but would call on "countries to be vigilant in developing trade, economic, transport and other relations with Iran so that these relations are not used to transfer illegal, banned materials that can be used in nuclear affairs".
"For as long as the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) has unresolved issues regarding Iran, these restrictions will remain in force," he said.

I find it extremely interesting that Russia is putting so much emphasis on the fact that no true sanctions are necessary, and only regulations on nuclear materials should be initiated. Russia has made it extremely evident that they disagree with any "sanction" on Iran, but they supposedly will support the move to stop the nuclear materials from entering Iran.
With all the protection from Russia i seriously doubt that the "regulations" will do much good. This will probably effect Iran very little if at all. With Russia protecting them, there are little peaceful things we can do.
