Reuters: "The United States said on Wednesday it had sanctioned Iran's main agency in charge of broadcasting for helping the government censor Western reports, part of a broader effort by Washington to pressure Tehran's nuclear program. The Treasury Department also said sanctions that shackle Iran's oil earnings took effect, as scheduled, on Wednesday. Iran's earnings now have to be credited to accounts in countries that buy Iranian crude. Under the conditions, Tehran can only use the funds to buy goods from its oil customers, preventing the money from being repatriated and used on the nuclear program the West believes is developing weapons. Iran says the program is for purely civilian purposes. 'This will significantly restrict Iran's ability to make use of the oil revenue that it's earning,' a senior U.S. official told reporters about the sanctions. In its crackdown on Iran's state-sponsored media, the Treasury named the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, its director, Ezzatollah Zarghami, and others as subject to sanctions that effectively block their access to the U.S. financial system... The new sanctions also target the Iranian Cyber Police, a unit formed in 2009 that has hacked into email accounts related to political action, deleted anti-government blogs and arrested bloggers, the Treasury said. The Iran Electronics Industries, which the Treasury said had helped the government crush activism by monitoring text messages, was also targeted by the sanctions."http://t.uani.com/VJOVUN
"The Iranian People Want to Be Able to Travel to Disneyworld."
The Internet Has Shown Them Places They Now Dream About. As American We Need to Harness the Desire of the Iranian people that want Democracy - Lets provide the people with iPhones and with Aggressive Sanctions
"If we can figure out how to 'wi-fi' Tehran with a wireless system that is NOT used by the Iranian National Guard then Peace could happen.. it's ALL about communicating that a better world exist." Or Stopping Internet Money works too.
Already the newest generation wants to be peaceful members of the global community. It's the "old" hard line "Khomeini-ist" that are taking their aggressions out on the people that will eventually make them insist on "change" ....
Now if Ed Gillespie can succeed at Diversity in the GOP... then things can get better.
The democrats have too much of a "monopoly" on many demographics and thats not healthy for a 2 party system. Senator YOU need to tell the DNC to "share" the diversity:):)
