| Putin warns against new sanctions on Iran |
| 2007-10-26 |
| Russia's President Vladimir Putin warned Thursday against new international sanctions on Iran, saying they would lead to a dead end. "Why worsen the situation by threatening sanctions and bring it to a dead end?" Putin said in a veiled reference to the US push for harsher international sanctions on Tehran. "It's not the best way to resolve the situation by running around crazily like a man with a blade in his hand." |

| #1 Essentially in agreement. Sanctions may not result in any change of Iran's direction and the proper way to deal with Iran would be with massive air strikes to obliterate IRG, nuke facilities and as many members of the top mullah layer as possible. Whaddaya mean that this is not what he meant? |
