The United States is pressing for very tough new sanctions against Iran this month, a top US aide said Sunday, suggesting that the move could help bring about "regime change."
"We're... going through the UN this month to present sanctions," President Barack Obama's national security advisor, retired general James Jones, told Fox News Sunday.
While the US is not actively seeking to destabilize Iran, which has been rocked by months of anti-government protests since disputed elections last year, Jones said additional sanctions could nevertheless have that effect.
"We know that internally there is a very serious problem. We're about to add to that regime's difficulties by engineering, participating in very tough sanctions, which we support," he said.
"Not mild sanctions. These are very tough sanctions. A combination of those things could well trigger a regime change -- it's possible."

Tough sanctions could see Iran ‘regime change’: top US Idiot.
Hahahahaha
My interpretation: The brave people of Iran have paid the price of securing their liberty through beatings, torture and death while Zero remained mute. He believes they're about to succeed in toppling the evil regime, and he's maneuvering into position to take credit for the outcome. Uncle Joe just took credit for winning in Iraq, and Zero is about to take credit for anticipated regime change in Iran.
And yet they make laws to keep narcotic drugs from the rest of us. I want some of what they are taking cause then maybe I won’t worry so much about the direction of our country. Just sayin....
I don’t understand why we don’t use the most sophisticated media industry in the world to create propoganda that’s beamed directly to the Iranian people. You know that the mullahs and that “president” of theirs probably have tons of skeletons in their closets. The US should let the Iranians know that their leaders make them a laughingstock of the world, they don’t make the world repect Iran.
