Brazil: Iran could radicalize with UN sanctions

United Nations sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program could make the Islamic Republic more radical and cause its population to revolt, Brazil's foreign minister said on Tuesday.

"A regime like Iran's, with sanctions, will tend to radicalize, dig in its heels, joining opposition and government in a position of intransigence," Foreign Minister Celso Amorim told Brazil's Senate foreign relations committee. (Reuters)
