US pressing for Iran sanctions
- 12 years ago
The US President Barack Obama has promised tougher sanctions on Iran after they uncovered an alleged plot to kill the Saudi ambassador to Washington.

But as Iran still continues to enrich their uranium and influence groups like Hezbullah, many are convinced that sanctions have no real impact.
