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."

Excellent post my i borrow the image..
Obama is an idiot.
bush zero after 911 obama 3 or more..
What a joke. Iran is now a nuclear power. The cat be out of the bag. What sanctions? What are they? Regime change is dead . They hang you if they find you want regime change in Iran. Aint no regime change coming. We need to mind our own business.
What the heck is this idiot thinking? Obamination stands by and lets Iranian protestors be slaughtered and jailed by the thousands and they know they can’t count on this administration to help them .
Typical liberal. Have "tough" sanctions ever worked to effect regime change? Anywhere, anytime??? Or does this tactic have, as I suspect, a 100% failure rate in this area? Liberals are always sure that because something sounds right or idealistic and meets their world-view that it must work. Never mind all of recorded history, this time'll be different, we just need the right people in charge... {snort}
These clowns really don’t get it. Who is going to make the case at the UN, HUH? Susan Rice? Another ivory tower academic who couldn’t find her butt with both hands and a flashlight.
Followed by a firm letter stating "Don't mess with Joe!" perhaps?
PATENT BULL$HIT. Should be "top US Idiot!!!!

I just saw the general Jones interview. He was excellent. Obama should have this guy on the news shows every Sunday. The guy with the big stupid mouth is under secretary John Brennan. That’s the guy FOX has gotta interview.
More of that is all sanctions will lead to. They’ll get what they need through Syria and millions of arabs that want the downfall of Israel. What are they going to do,blockade the entire country? Plus there’s no possibility our troops will be permitted to fire on smugglers.
Yeah it worked so well against Iraq lets do it again. Hey, maybe we can set-up some sort of Food for Oil Program or something...ya think?
I don’t think China is with us on this. What are we going to do,shoot down Chinese planes making deliveries there?
Yeah. So....
How’s that working out with North Korea, then?
Hans Brix! Oh no!
...
Oh. Hi Hans.
It will be a cold day in hell before the chosen one does anything to stop islamofacism. He is a panty waist liberal with no guts and a big mouth which is so typical of liberals. He makes Jimmy Carter look like a lion.
That sanction thing has always worked before, I say let’s try it again!!!
...God Almighty, save us from this gang of arrogant sophomores.
