In Trouble: No Iran Sanctions This Summer? Unstable Palestinian Leadership
By Barry Rubin
Vice-President Joe Biden has said that there will be a sanctions' resolution on Iran ready by next week which is now this week. Really?
In trying to sound, as usual, tough toward Iran, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton drops in the idea that the United States and other countries are working to complete an agreement on sanctions against Iran by mid-June. In other words, they hope to have a plan—not sanctions--by then. So that means no sanctions before July or so. But even this deadline can slip again. And how minimal will the sanctions have to be to get them by the UN Security Council?
The whole sanctions’ effort is turning into a demonstration of Obama Administration incompetence.
