U.S. Calls for UN Committee to Monitor Iran Sanctions
[Jerusalem Post] Herb Keinon - The UN should set up an Iran sanctions monitoring committee to help identify "cheaters and spoilers" who are not complying with the UN Security Council sanctions, Brian Hook, the U.S. assistant secretary of state for international organizations, said Tuesday in Jerusalem. "I think Iran is chafing under the weight of international sanctions," Hook said. "They are doing everything they can to have them declared illegal. This tells me that they are troubled by isolation, although not enough to end their enrichment." Referring to the defeat of the Iranian bid for a seat on the UN Security Council by a vote of 158-32, he said, "I think the vote in the General Assembly shows how much a pariah Iran has become in the world."
