1. Don't even believe iran if they say 2+2=4.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.22.11)
2. ridiculous
MICHEL ,   FRANCE   (11.22.11)
Yo little to late.Obama found another way to allow Iran to gain time to get the nukes. Is evident that they got another breath to go forward.
3. sanctions pressure on Iran
Mat ,   uk   (11.22.11)
sanctions dont work iran gets more time and carries on with nuclear every one knows what should be done now iran is getting stronger which is making it harder to attack iran
4. "stopped short of full blown sanctions"
nadav ,   tlv   (11.22.11)
this explains why Obama is a complete failure when it comes to foreign policy. These measures won't work. Obama already made it clear that the world must accept a nuclear armed Iran. These pseudo sanctions are meant to make him look like he is a strong leader, but reading the details of these measures proves that these are not even sanctions. The US should have imposed FULL sanctions on ANY business entity working with ANY and ALL Iranian businesses. We need a Republican in the White House ASAP.
5. more sanctions! the Iranians r (not) quaking in their boots!
me ,   here   (11.22.11)
they are busy going nuclear.
6. sanctions are act of war
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.22.11)
World War III is coming whether you like it or not. just remember how the US entered World War 2.
7. Obama's invitation to Israel : Please do dirty work for me.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (11.22.11)
8. Where is the special relationship?
Beauchard   (11.22.11)
I thought that Israel had this special relationship with Russia. That Lieberman and the Russian leaders were great buddies. Yet Russia is consciously helping Iran to gain nuclear weapons. It is easy to criticize Obama but who would you choose, Obama or Putin? So shut up about wonderful Russia. It is facilitaing a possible new Holocaust.
9. Iran nuclear
frank sol ,   san diego   (11.22.11)
Well, it seems to me that the west goal is to make of Iran an actual nuclear country, (I mean nuclear bomb country), they push her so hard, that I can't imagine anything else, most ppl believe that the original goal of Iran was a peaceful nuclear program, but now with so much pushing, what's their option?. I mean we can imagine being in their shoes, what else can we do?
10. # 6 Salma
Nathan ,   Israel/USA   (11.22.11)
Salma, Just remember who won :)
11. To: No. 6
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.22.11)
Umm, let's see -- the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. That's how the United States entered World War II. Your point? The key here is that we learned how best to avoid a third world war. That would be by destroying Iran -- the present-day Third Reich.
12. Obama will NOT try to do ANYTHING
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (11.22.11)
serious against Irans nuke program... He is Irans biggest ASSET !!!
13. @ 6 world war III is coming.
lunatic fringe ,   out there   (11.22.11)
and you'll be viewing it from jordan whether you like it or not.
14. Backing up Israel
Chaim ,   Arad   (11.22.11)
If anyone thinks that the US will back up Israel in an attack and a retaliation from Iran, I have a condo with the view of the Pacific Ocean in Tel Aviv for sale real cheap. This is to be taken very seriously. I pray that HaShem moves against Iran supernaturally and that we here in Israel get out act together, get on our face and repent for the sins we have committed, and return to the living Torah and not to other nations for our help. Come on Israel, let's re-read our history and learn something.
15. ***Sarah***....The present day III. Reich
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (11.22.11)
IS Iran...it cannot be said any better...but the world acts EXACTLY like in 1938...So again NOTHING has been learned from history and the Jewish people are on their own once again...!
16. To: Chris at No. 15
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.22.11)
This time around, Chris, we've got the ability to make sure it doesn't happen. Yes, we are on our own ... but we always have been. Nothing new under the sun. The world challenges us to its peril. If we ever feel that we are going under, we WILL pull down the walls of the temple. We will take a significant portion of the world with us, and make the rest uninhabitable for the next one hundred thousand years. Make no mistake. We will NOT file passively into oblivion again. The phrase "Never Again" actually resonately rather deeply with us.

Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (11.22.11)
Ahhh........but this time they have teeth. The world may have learned nothing from history but the Jews have. Never again!
18. Sanctions vs Fanatics
Brod ,   USA   (11.22.11)
The Ayatollahist Fanatics are not affected by the sanctions. They will eat sand to get their nukes. It will be the ordinary Persians that will be hurt by the sanctions.
19. obama and his sanctions
miri from miami/ ,   usa   (11.22.11)
see obama run!!! after the Jewish vote, that is. useless sanction full of loopholes. ineffectual just like our fearless "leader" oBUMa.
20. salma
miri ,   miami fl usa   (11.22.11)
@ salma. i dont watch al jazeera because i dont believe a word of it. why oh why do you read y net. you NEVER agree with one word. r u just trying to give yourself ulcers. btw u r wasying your time with your comments.
21. SARA
miri ,   miami   (11.22.11)
you go girl. u r my hero and said it just right!!!!! thumbs up.
22. 2012 must be exerting some Elections- "Pressure" on Obama.
tom ,   tel aviv   (11.22.11)
23. #20
esnuffnstl ,   USA   (11.22.11)
Perhaps Salma posts on Ynet because she has enough confidence in her opinions that she doesn't need to go where 95% of the people agree with her. Or perhaps she hopes to broaden her view of the issues or at least gain a better understanding of the "other side." A flat-earther would not have gained knowledge of the earth by only associating with those who believe likewise. Nor will creationists learn about evolution by solely reading the views of those who believe in creationism. It may help some to validate themselves by seeking out talkboards largely populated by those they agree with, but it doesn't take much courage.
24. Talk and Santions To irans Secret Nuclear
(11.22.11)

Your Lack Of Action Since your Dismal two years into your term Have WEAKENED Relations with the world and PUT THE U.S. Tax Payers In A Weakened State. b.H.o. You should think of relinquishing power and Step Down Now While You Can!!!
25. So, where're the Germans ??? ,...
split ,   US   (11.22.11)
It looks like they showed us a finger, they just sold Merkel's jet to Iranian Airlines ,...
26. # 20
Birdi ,   Israel   (11.22.11)
Miri, I guess writing talkbacks on an Israeli news website is far more interesting for Salami than peeling potatoes & writing talkbacks on an Arabic news website where no one would give her the time of day. Salami is our resident clown.
27. Ahmadinejad is almost right when he says
Tim ,   Brighton   (11.22.11)
'Sanctions will unite the Iranian people' But hed forgotten to add the PUNCH LINE 'Sanctions will unite the Iranian people against Ahmadinejad and bring his whole house of cards down with a vengeance' What an utter walking disaster for Iran, for Shia Islam, for the region and global stability Can one insane man and his cohorts in the RG seriously be left to cause so much mayhem?
28. 26
Jonathan ,   MN/US   (11.22.11)
I thought Sarah B was the resident clown?
29. eventually iran will destroy usa and israel
inja   (11.22.11)
iran is a super power
30. Jonathan / 28
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (11.22.11)
You must not be used to thinking then. Don't strain yourself. Keep trying though, eventually you might get something right just by chance.
