Seriously? Go to the UN? Seriously?

An Electronic Embargo Could Cripple Iran

Taking down a long-standing adversary of the United States, with a minimum loss of life at a relatively low cost and by remote, high-tech means would be an enormous payoff. Imagine that.

Chuck de Caro

FTA:
Specifically, the United States could seek relief at the United Nations by asking for an embargo under U.N. Article 41. Embargoes are a tried-and-true tactic, but physical embargoes require considerable time and resources to deliver definitive effects. Economic sanctions have restricted Iran’s ability to import and export goods, and have done damage to the Iranian economy.

But an electronic embargo on bytes contained within hard and cellular telephones, satellite communications, broadcast television, and most especially Iran’s internet and social media, however, could happen much more quickly and could help bring the crisis with Iran to an acceptable resolution far more rapidly.
Use the United Nations

This new electronic embargo can be manifested through a contemporary re-evaluation of the language of Article 41, whereupon the use of high technology by the United States under U.N. auspices could be far more effective than unilateral U.S. military actions.
