Yesterday the US, UK and Canada announced tougher sanctions against Iran. The coordinated effort comes in reaction to Iran's suspected nuclear weapons program, and the three countries hope this will stop Iran from allegedly building up their nuclear program.The latest sanctions aim at Iran's petrochemical industry and its oil and gas business. Iran claims their nuclear program is peaceful and the IAEA report is politically motivated. Jamal Abdi, policy director at the National Iranian American Council, helps find out if these new sanction will do any good.

  • America's threat to start a war with Iran is like a couple thinking about having a baby to save a failing marriage. Both America and Iran have corrupt, bloated, rotten governments and many disaffected young people who would like to start over.

  • @WayofDaGun America/North America is a continent. Are Canadians Americans? The States are sovereign, there is no country called America. The powers that be do not want us to recognize the sovereignty of each individual state. Remember the civil war? Show me a globe or world map that shows a country called America.

  • All has to happen is some country destroy Saudi oil infrastructure and there will be doom for us citizens and a boom for arms manufactureres markets.

    The USA are lying to us about the nukes, about protestors, and it's all about saving their War econony.

    We dont wana live like this right? Killing people so the USA can be rich and fat. War is not any decent way to fix an ecconomy and the US is insane for any blood that brings dollars to its war machines.

  • Israel has hundreds of Nukes and wont allow Nuclear inspectors in their country.What does the US say about that nothing.Obama calls Iran the greatest threat to world peace.When was the last time Iran invaded another country? Not in the last hundred years the only time they went to War was when Iran was attacked by Iraq under Saddam Hussein.Iran is the 3rd biggest Oil Producer in the world and that's why they are having sanctions placed against them it's all about power and control of resources.

  • So much hypocrisy !

  • The ridiculous howling of the foul Americans about Syria does make sense now: They want to attack with Persia another major oil country; and the odds are very bad for Persia: Its air-force and air-defence are not able to defend the country against the massive bombings of the evil Americans; so the only chance the Persians have is to stop and destroy the oil flow from the region and in doing so casting the world into economic and political chaos; as China will not help them.

  • hopefully rt/kremlin whores will be next

  • It is alright to beat Americans though...

  • Why is it that RT has the banner headline right over the news anchors tits?
