U.S. and Allies Eye Sanctions on Iran
(Boston Globe) Farah Stockman - The Bush administration and its European allies are exploring ways to enact ''targeted sanctions" against the Iranian regime, including banning international travel by its leaders and freezing their bank accounts as well as preventing international airlines from flying to Tehran, according to European diplomats and U.S. officials. Any tough economic sanctions against Iran must also include India, which is negotiating a multibillion-dollar pipeline deal with Tehran and which provides 40% of Iran's refined gasoline.
