"A draft UN resolution on new sanctions against Iran will include curbs on trade and a travel ban for Iranian nuclear scientists, diplomats say.
Two sets of UN sanctions have already been imposed on Iran, to punish it for continuing to enrich uranium.
The proposed sanctions include restrictions on government backed trade with Iran, and also cargo controls to ensure countries are not selling anything to Iran which is on the banned list.
Previous sanctions on Iran included a ban on the sale of any material which might help Iran develop an atomic weapon, and a freeze on the financial assets of people and banks thought to be involved in Iran's nuclear work.
Iran insists its nuclear programme is for civilian energy, not military purposes.
But it continues to enrich uranium, a process which can lead to the development of a nuclear bomb."
These sanctions by the U.N. further its insecurity about Iran's uranium enrichment program. Though Iran says that it is using the uranium for energy, the U.N. speculates that Iran might have other intentions with the uranium; specifically the using of the material to produce a nuclear bomb.
