The Obama administration imposed new sanctions Monday on Iran and its nuclear program, targeting the country's currency and auto industry and seeking to render Iranian money useless outside the country.

The executive order from President Barack Obama broadens a sanctions campaign aimed at crippling Iran's economy, forcing it to comply with international demands that it prove its nuclear program is peaceful.

Your comments:


What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I read somewhere that there were significant reserves of plutonium in Iran.

This 'economic sanction' means provoking war with Iran. If it is provoked, the United States will have a legitimate reason to strike.

Obama and his government are totally controlled by Israel, which is why he is doing this.
