'Sanctions' on Iran, does this prove something regarding Obama-Israel relations?

Ynetnews: UN approves Iran sanctions

My question: 'Sanctions' on Iran, does this prove something regarding Obama-Israel relations?

I'll answer in brief points:

* Obama bent Israel's arm and abused the Iranian threat to squeeze Israel and prevent construction for Jews in Jerusalem.

* The sanctions seem to be very watered down.

* A year and a half was wasted to reach this point because Obama insisted that he can push a reset button with Iran. Based on nothing but his own lefty loony ideals.

* Obama's actions have led to a situation were Israel is more isolated and penalized than Iran.

* Obama allowed UN resolution against Israeli nukes - without mention of Iran - before SC decision (a week ago)

Consider the following articles as well:
* Putin: I don't know of any example of effective sanctions

* Obama's efforts on Iran sanctions fall short of expectations

Finally, a bigger question is: Is there anything in this resolution preventing or at the very least slowing down Iran's march to a nuclear bomb?
