A nuclear Iran; will academics suffer?

Punishing Iran's students and scholars for the government's nuclear research and development programme would just increase anti-US sentiment and the distaste of what many in the Middle East see as the Western 'imperialists'. Not a smart move by the UN Security Council (which Germany could, in all reason, be called a member in this matter... they have been as involved as any other UNSC nation) if this [part of the] draft resolution — which Russia seems to be against and France, joining the punishment bandwagon, for Iranian sanctions at this time — for Iranian punishment is passed.
