Sanctions on Iran: What’s Missing from Obama’s New Dialogue
Posted by ac on March 12th, 2010
“But this new promise “to move forward without preconditions” should be viewed in the wider context of continuous economic and military pressures on Iran and on the entire region of the Middle East. While the United States has convinced the international community to apply sanctions on Iran because of its nuclear program, the tool that the United States itself uses to apply pressure on Iran is sanctions on that country’s petroleum sector. Iran seems to be a case in point where U.S. concern for nuclear weapons proliferation in the Middle East is selective at best, while the preconditions of sanctions are applied yet again on another major oil exporter of the region.”

There is no need for more sanctions on Iran! The only result we should be afraid of is if they start firing nuclear weapons all over the place, and the chance they will do that is practically zero.
