The Obama Administration issues daily warnings to Congress not to impose new sanctions on Iran, noting that such deals dramatically threaten the ongoing diplomacy with the nation. Today was no different.
Actually it was a little different. Though the administration made its same warning to Congress, they also unveiled new sanctions blacklisting more than a dozen companies that do business with Iran.
The puzzling move was followed by a declaration from Treasury undersecretary David Cohen, who yesterday denied any sanctions had been eased, and today warned the world that “Iran is still off limits.”
Technically the new sanctions don’t target Iran directly, but rather Iran’s trading partners, allowing the administration some level of deniability about adding to the sanctions against Iran. It remains to be seen if Iran will view it that way, however, and whether or not it will harm the diplomatic discussion that is ongoing.
This smug b'turrd must be stopped….OR AMERICA WILL BE TOTALLY DESTROYED–OR IS THAT THE DEMONIC PLAN?
Could you please stop using that vile picture. Some of us have a sensitive disposition
This sound like taking antibiotic's to kill bad stomach bugs, but the antibiotics inadvertently wipe out the good stomach bugs….Or maybe this is the plan.
Treasury undersecretary David Cohen warning the world that "Iran is still off limits"? Really? Warning "the world"? Why not the whole universe? These gutless wonders have gone past arrogance into delusion!
David Cohen warns the WORLD Iran is still off limits. I guess that is the cause of earthquakes lately – the world is trembling.
Iran was quick off the mark to mark this red line and quit. who could blame them?
The US speaks with forked tongue.
There is no plan and there was a plan for honesty in USG history, USG double moral and language no matter who is president historically been proven, this one is yet another, is always been like that with democrats, one day they are revolutionary the other day they are for wars and on third day they show their true face insisting on their falsified democracy and their moral toward a honest negotiation. Not that republicans are better, don't rub your belly yet, just look at Hagel or for that matter Bush or…….
The scorpion could not help itself it stung the fox half way across the river!
