Top US commander: Iran sanctions not working
None
The top US commander in the Middle East says the current sanctions and diplomatic efforts to stop Iran from gaining nuclear capabilities are not working. Acording to him, Tehran has a history of denial and deceit and is enriching uranium beyond any plausible peaceful purpose.
Gen. James Mattis, head of US Central Command, said that it may still be possible to use sanctions to bring Tehran to its senses. When asked if the US can bring Iran to its knees, Mattis said the US has a number of ways to do that, even short of open conflict. (AP)
