The Champ: Iran sanctions can be reimposed if Tehran violates nuclear deal
Champ told National Public Radio (NPR) that US and European negotiators are trying to reach a deal with Iran in which sanctions could be reimposed without a UN Security Council vote, where Tehran-ally Russia would have a veto. Ahhh yes, NPR providing all sides of the issues from our panel of commentators - a communist, a socialist, a liberal, and a progressive. "We are absolutely convinced we can do it again," Obama said of the international sanctions, which have crippled Iran's economy. He said a reimposition of sanctions would be triggered by a finding of the International Atomic Energy Agency that Tehran had broken the agreement. After reaching a framework deal last week, negotiators face an end-of-June deadline to reach a final agreement meant to prevent Iran from being able to build a nuclear weapon. Champ said a nuclear deal could help strengthen moderate elements in Iran. Iranian 'moderates' this time is it ? "If they are shown to have delivered for their people, presumably it strengthens their hand vis-a-vis some of the hardliners inside of Iran," he said. Posted by: Besoeker 2015-04-07 |
