More sanctions for Iran?
Big weekend for Iran: After having its new nuclear facility outed, the Islamic Republic shot off a few missiles. Meanwhile, according to the NY Times, the Obama Administration is 'scrambling' to come up with a new package of sanctions against Iran, probably targeting their crucial oil and gas sector.
It's a delicate time for the US and Iran, since they're about to sit down face to face in four (count 'em FOUR) days.
It's not like these are the first sanctions the US has levied against Iran. Last year, Collective Journalism contributors Golboo Fuizii (a documentary filmmakers living in Tehran) and Kouross Esmaeli, an Iranian-American filmmaker based in NY, worked together to produce this intimate look at how Iranians view the West. Sanctions were, unsurprisingly, a big topic of conversation.
