U.S. cites progress in curbing Iranian oil business

What we most care about is how Iran responds to this in terms of its preparedness to engage in negotiations," said Steinberg.

"Our goal, as I said, is not sanctions for sanctions sake, but to make clear to Iran that there are costs for the path they are pursuing. But I think we have pretty good indications that - not just in the energy sector but across-the-board - that whether it's in the financial sector, whether it's in shipping or transportation - that these measures are increasingly having a significant impact on Iran.

United States goal has nothing to do with the nuclear issue and its main aim is to punish Iran which regards as a fugitive slave and prepare the grounds for war, by provoking Iran, by intimidating other nations and by squeezing and frightening ordinary Iranian citizens.

It also seems, EU goverments and companies will continue to do as the United States tells them to do and being resentful that Iranians insist on asserting their independence of the US power,while they are still US boot-licking.

The dangers to peace, in this world, come not from Iran, or North Korea which refuse to follow orders, but from the United States and its "allies".

Do the Iranians care? They have a more than eager customer in China -- who can afford to pay cash with no strings attached -- which is probably not what we can say about the Yankees!

"What world do you live in? There is no such thing as no strings attached. The strings in this case being backing up ardent anti-American leaders. If an anti-China leader was to surface within a few years you'd be seeing a different China. One with cables rather than strings. There's always strings. Ask Serbia what it had to give up for that Russian veto and at what price.

I live on earth, thank you. Whereas you obviously hail from la la land.

Why should Iran turn anti-China? The Chinese never threatened Iran, which is not what we can say about the Yankees' treatment of Tehran -- only someone from la la land can fail to see the difference in the way Iran is being treated by the US compared with China.

As for the Russian veto, whatever price Belgrade has to pay can never come anywhere near as high the price set by the Yankees -- the price set by them being Kosovo of course. Again only someone from la la land would fail to see the outrageous price disparity between the Yanks and Moscow!
