US Treasury sanctions 13 individuals, 12 entities related to Iran

CNBC ^ | 2/03/17 | Reuters

[Brandonmark]

The United States on Friday sanctioned 13 individuals and 12 entities under U.S. Iran sanctions authority, days after the White House had put Iran "on notice" over a ballistic missile test and other activities.

0 and Valerie Jarrett should be on the list.

[silverleaf]

So should John Kerry

[Buckeye McFrog]

IMO he is setting a “tar baby” trap for Obama.

He will feel compelled to dive in now and publicly defend his deal. And every time Iran exhibits bad behavior he’s going to make the Dems look worse and worse by defending them.

I wonder how many of them contributed to the Clinton Foundation?

[RushingWater]

This is bad what Trump is doing. He needs to get rid of Flynn. Read Buchanan’s article about this and you see someone with real insight about Iran

[lewislynn]

I'm confused. Here at FR Pat Buchanan was despised and hated for his views. Now were supposed to believe he has "real insight"?

[nuconvert]

Wonder why the CNBC/Reuters article didn’t have a link to this list?

[Liz]

Pres Trump needs to suggest AG Sessions make an inquiry to the US Dept of the Treasury and be sure to ask what RAHM AND Obama were doing in the US Treasury after Obama got elected.

Treasury prolly HAS a huge Rahm/Obama paper trail. One can get awfully rich awfully fast knowing the Fed's Treasury moves in advance.

But the Iran connection could prove to be even more interesting considering the hundreds of millions Obama secretly gave to Iran. Read on.

"Don't worry, Mr President, the Dept of the Treasury is under your control."

=============================================

ONCE UPON AN OBAMA TIME, IN THE PRIVILIGED ENCLAVES OF
OUR NATION'S CAPITAL, RHAM EMANUEL HELD TWO JOBS Soon as they occupied the WH, Obama placed his COS Rahm Emanuel in control of the US Dept of the Treasury (oversees the IRS).

PAUSE TO REFLECT First-term Obama had tight control of Treasury; Obama calculatedly placed his then-COS Rahm Emanuel in a dual role.......in the WH and at Treasury. Obama had a stranglehold on Treasury via COS Rahm Emanuel's dual role

==========================================

THE SMOKING GUN---WSJ REPORT--On Jan 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner was appointed Obama's Secy of the Treasury. But within three weeks, the Obama White House tightened its grip on Treasury. Obama put his COS, Rahm Emanuel, in charge of Treasury---Rahm Emanuel's dual role was an unusual move.

When he got to Treasury, WH COS Rahm Emanuel was so involved in the inner workings that the phrase "Rahm wants it" had become an unofficial mantra among subservient govt staffers, prostrate in obeisance, scurrying to accede to Rahm's wishes, according to Treasury government officials.

I’m totally against war with Iran. I hope what Trump is doing is setting the groundwork for a resumption of international sanctions against Iran and a canceling of the nuclear deal.

[RushingWater]

Sanctions for how many years? How did it work out with Cuba? Why can’t the US be smart and go for a relationship with the people of a nation and not allow the extreme minority leadership of a country establish our diplomacy. Especially when that is what the vast majority of what a nation desires. Cubans and Iranians have spoken with their feet

[LouisianaJoanof Arc]

“I’m confused. Here at FR Pat Buchanan was despised and hated for his views. Now were supposed to believe he has “real insight”?”

If we don’t think for ourselves, we are no better than the democrats.

I’ve read Buchanan for years. Sometimes he makes sense, sometimes he doesn’t. You have to decide for yourself and not be bullied by anyone on here that hates Buchanan.

[politicianslie]

I don’t see Hussein Obama, America’s FIRST Muslim President, on the list.

Nor do I see Hillary Clinton who aided Muslim terrorists as much as Hussein did.

Then there are scum like John Kerry and Emanuel.

Lots more need to be added.

[elpadre]

No one wants war. But the people with whom we deal in the ME, and throughout the world only respect strength. They take advantage of weakness and push their nefarious agenda as far as they can. Failure to respond is an invitation for them to proceed to more dangerous action.

[phoneman08]

Oh I completely agree that sanctions are unlikely to change their behavior. But we must realize that a full scale war against Iran in todays environment would not turn out well.

As much of a mistake it was to overthrow other dictators in the Middle East has been, supporting a popular uprising that leads to the overthrow of the Iranian government may be the least bad choice. Sanctions are part of that strategy.

Bombing their nuclear facilities is another path. This would likely occur after Iran attacked one of our ships in the gulf. Big risk here once again.

[elpadre]

changing governments to look like us is never a good idea and should avoided. Supporting an uprising can be an avenue, but we blew it when letting down the students revolution early in Obama’s reign.

But a tight ring around Iran, interrupting all travel, shipping, etc. might be considered, which would likely cause an uprising. The American left and EU would go crazy.

Destroying their nuclear capabilities is another possible scenario.

Options are limited.
