Obama Gets Tough with Iran: Threatens New Uranium Enrichment Threat with More Sanctions
Two days after after “world powers ordered Iran to halt construction of a plant near Qom and to adhere immediately to five United Nations resolutions demanding it stop uranium enrichment” Iran responded by announcing it will add ten new uranium enrichment plants.
“A senior US official said that the plan constituted the boldest public violation of Iran’s international obligations to date, and underlined its unwillingness to reach a peaceful compromise. Western powers have said they will consider new sanctions if Iran has not shown signs of good faith by the end of the year.”
No word yet on whether Obama will issue a new sanction rescinding the sending of an official White House Christmas card to Ahmadinejad, or the more serious sanction of sending the Iranian leader an official White House stocking stuffed with coal.
