U.S. considers cutting off Irans gasoline supplies

On Monday, seven weeks after Irans disputed presidential election, the countrys supreme leader endorsed the declared victor. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei gave his blessing to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, clearing the way for Ahmadinejad to be sworn in on Wednesday for a second term. But later, there were reports of new clashes in Tehran between security forces and protesters who oppose Ahmadinejad.
A large trial began this weekend for those arrested in the violence and protests that followed the election. They included many prominent politicians and religious figures. Meanwhile, the U.S. is considering cutting off gasoline supplies to Iran if the country rejects offers to negotiate its nuclear program.
Trita Parsi, the founder and president of the National Iranian American Council, joins Martin Savidge to discuss the possibility of gas sanctions, the trial of protesters and the Obama administrations attempt to engage in negotiations with Iran.

Trita Parsi is traitor to Iranian and dose not represent Iranian in US only 300 member in US. His ties to the mullahs regime is clear and exposed by Iranian in the US.

Trita-Parsi is a misagent of the zionist regime bent on capitalising on the loss to puppet state controlled by the west with the people bruitaly beaten by gestapo thugs who resist now.

Triti should only worry about his queerish demeanor and constrait on moral amplitude of eviction contrary to belief in zoroastrian terminology.
