WSJ/ here"... Officials involved in the diplomacy fear that China's stated opposition to tough new sanctions, if reinforced by other players, could weaken any U.N. penalties against Tehran. Though Brazil, Turkey and Lebanon hold temporary seats and can't veto sanctions—unlike permanent council members including China—they could make it harder for the U.S. to get agreement by sustaining the opposition campaign....
U.S. and European diplomats also worry that Lebanon's new government will almost certainly abstain from voting to punish Iran. Pro-Western Prime Minister Saad Hariri heads the government, but political party and militia Hezbollah holds positions in the Lebanese cabinet and is expected to seek to protect Tehran from further sanctions."
