Turning the screw on Iran and its nuclear program, the Obama administration imposed new sanctions Monday on Iran's currency and auto industry, seeking to render Iranian money useless outside the country and to cut off the regime from critical revenue sources.
The executive order from President Barack Obama broadens an already concerted and multifaceted sanctions campaign aimed at crippling Iran's economy, forcing it to comply with international demands that it prove its nuclear program is peaceful. The U.S. believes Iran is working to develop nuclear weapons, a charge that Iran denies.
Officials described the move as part of a dual-track effort to offer meaningful negotiations to the Iranian regime while continually upping the economic stakes.

Economic Sanctions. Because they work so well.
Big deal. Muslim boy is not going to do anything.
Piss them off as much as possible until they break and have a reactive terror attack so we will have a reason to enter into yet another unreasonable war...... just keeps going and going.... Gawd. Can't our fearful leader think past that?
