when will people get a clue?
The Obama administration is reportedly softening its stance on tough new measures against Iran in order to win the support of Russia and China for a new round of UN sanctions against Tehran. Citing unnamed officials in Washington, the ‘Wall Street Journal’ reports that previous US proposals, which would have effectively closed international airspace and waters to Iranian state-owned air cargo and shipping lines, had been abandoned. The proposed package of sanctions had also been stripped of plans targeting insurance for certain Iranian companies and the sale of Iranian bonds.
In a first reaction to the report, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said of the Western powers' efforts to implement new sanctions against Iran: "They are just making a fuss. They have ended up humiliating themselves." He added: "Rest assured that your efforts will be fruitless."
