EU Plans Massive Sanctions Against Iran
(Der Spiegel-Germany) Hans-Jurgen Schlamp - The EU is preparing tough sanctions against Iran's energy and financial sectors, aimed at forcing Iran to back down in the nuclear dispute. The EU wants to massively ratchet up the pressure on Tehran - and the instruments have already been prepared. Behind the scenes, EU finance and trade experts have worked out a confidential catalogue of possible sanctions. European governments are more determined than ever to raise the pressure on Iran, especially after the IAEA said in a report last week that Iran may now be working to develop a nuclear-armed missile.
