NEW YORK, March 3 (AP) - (Kyodo)—The following is the gist of a new resolution on Iran for its refusal to suspend uranium enrichment that was approved by the U.N. Security Council on Monday.

The Security Council:

-- calls on all states to act under Article 41 of the U.N. Charter's Chapter 7.

-- reaffirms that Iran shall without further delay take the steps required by the December 2006 resolution calling for suspending uranium enrichment.

-- decides that all states shall take the necessary measures to prevent the entry into or transit through their territories of individuals who are related to Iran's proliferation sensitive nuclear activities or for the development of nuclear weapon delivery systems.

-- calls on all states to exercise vigilance over the activities of financial institutions in their territories with all banks domiciled in Iran, in particular with Bank Melli and Bank Saderat.

-- calls on all states to inspect the cargoes to and from Iran, of aircraft and vessels, at their airports and seaports, owned or operated by Iran Air Cargo and Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Line, provided there are reasonable grounds to believe that the aircraft or vessel is transporting prohibited goods.

-- requests that IAEA submit a further report on whether Iran has established full and sustained suspension of all enrichment activities within 90 days.

-- reaffirms that it shall adopt further appropriate measures under Article 41 of the U.N. Charter's Chapter 7 if the report shows Iran has not complied with three resolutions.
