Who's in charge of sanctioning Iran?

Companies that trade with Iran are struggling to get paid and the biggest Asian countries are scrambling to work around U.S. sanctions that aim to deprive Tehran of revenue needed to develop its nuclear program. "I don't feel apologetic about it because that is the consequence of these banks in Iran willingly facilitating transactions for Iran's nuclear programs," said David Cohen, undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence at the U.S. Treasury Department.

"If they are going to do that, they shouldn't be accessible to the international financial system. They shouldn't be financial institutions that any reputable bank wants to deal with," Cohen said in an interview.

The pressure has forced Iran to listen to U.S. demands, he said. "Do we think we have the attention of the leadership on their end? We have it like never before," he added.

Cohen's comments were a strong display of administration confidence in the measures against Iran, even as their effects have rippled through the marketplace faster than many had expected.



.....Why do we have an Israeli Firster in control of this? Why are our resources being used for Israel?

This guy works for Israel's interests, not ours. When will this come to an end.

Out of the 26 senior officials from the US Treasury department 18 of them are Jewish or have Jewish spouses. And you wonder why we meddle into the Middle East so much.

Filthy Jews! They are going to bring down the whole Reich!

That's not the point, the point is you have people with different interests who are in contact with the Israeli army and are dual citizens. It doesn't represent our country. Their interests aren't ours. We have no reason to be in conflict with Iran other than the reason politicians like these people keep telling us so and keep flushing the media with their propaganda. It's sad and true. That's using the US as a means to attack Israel's enemies. And our resources and troops. I'm not comfortable with that.

So your little deflection isn't gold anymore. This is something to be concerned about. There's an extra effort against Middle Eastern countries on the basics of protecting Israel's interests. And this is exactly why. We don't want special pleading in our foreign policy. And I don't want it to be dictated by these people who treat sanctions as something normal because Israel wants it.
