Please Iran, stop sending arms and fighters into Iraq they are killing our soldiers. Really, can't you just be nice?

Diplomacy is a great word, but if you just say let's do that diplomacy thing without any specifics it ends up empty of any meaning.

The UN with our help has passed resolutions on Iran dating back to at least 2005, Iran has continually announced that they will ignore them. http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/09/28/america/nations.php

The United States, Britain and France had been pushing for new sanctions now to pressure Iran to suspend uranium enrichment, but Russia and China wanted to give Tehran additional time to comply with UN nuclear inspectors.

Asked whether the agreement was tantamount to a surrender by the United States, Nicholas Burns, the State Department's No. 3 diplomat, said "the alchemy of this group is such that anything is going to be a compromise."

The statement, he said, sent "a very tough and strict message to Iran."

What is the next step?
