Sanctions on Iran

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has announced that the United States will not accept a nuclear-armed Iran, and will introduced sanctions against the country that will encourage Iran to "come clean" about it's suspected atomic program. In turn, Iran claims that it is not trying to produce a weapon of mass distruction, and that their forays into nuclear territory are merely to provide electricity. Clinton has stated that there will be real consequences for not proving that their nuclear activities will not lead to a nuclear weapon.
What I'm curious about is what kind of sanctions are going to be put into place to try to convince Iran to admit, if it's even true, that they are trying to build a nuclear weapon. The country is dead set against the United States and its allies, and so it's not feasible to expect them to tell us if they are making a bomb. Even if they are not trying to build the weapon, they are most likely relishing in the threat and fear that it is imposing in the Western world.
