I've Been Thinking:

Leaders of five of the world's most powerful countries met in Germany yesterday.
These world leaders decided to begin the process of new sanctions against Iran.

Russia, China, France, the United States and Germany all together and in sync. This was a very significant step.
Russia and China have not been very supportive of sanctions against Iran, now they seemed to have reached a tipping point.

German Foreign Minister Frank Walter Steinmeier summed it up.
He said: "We are united in the view that a nuclear armed Iran would have dramatic consequences for the Middle East and further afield."

Iranian news covered the event.
Iranian news (IRNA) incorrectly reported that the meeting ended without conclusions.
Wishful thinking on the part of the Iranians.
