Summary: Last week President Obama promised strict and biting sanctions on the Islamic Republic of Iran for its continued refusal to curtail its nuclear program or even to enter serious negotiations. |
|
Such sanctions, and even embargoes, will not cause Iran´s current government to reverse course and terminate the nuclear program. In truth, nothing will convince the present Iranian regime to retreat on its mad rush to become a nuclear power as Khamene´i and his coterie of Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) supporters regard the nuclear card as their one ace-in-the-hole that will keep them in power and in control of Iran. Hell will freeze over five times before this cabal will stop seeking nuclear arms.
So, if sanctions and even embargoes will not stop the mad mullahs, what´s to be done? Is all out war the only option left? Is the nuclear clock about to strike midnight?
Sanctions and embargoes still have an important role to play, but we must understand what that role is.
