The Global Citizen: sanctions
The Center for National Policy recently hosted a panel discussion on the future of Iran's nuclear program and U.S. options in face of a nuclear armed Iran. Iran's nuclear energy program was originally developed through the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Their program has expanded over the years, and eventually resulted in suspicions about Iran's plans for developing nuclear weapons. Many years and IAEA Board of Governors meetings later, sanctions have been imposed on Iran and many other international actions have been taken in response to the country's enrichment activities. Panelists at the discussion indicated that Iran has not yet decided if it will pursue nuclear weapons, but the past two U.S. administrations have stated that a nuclear Iran is not an option.
As noted earlier by my colleague Howard Salter, President Bush announced new sanctions against the Sudanese government today in response to Sudan's continued support for attacks in Darfur.
