Iran
How sanction on Iran are going to bear fruit?
Around 11 am in Paris time, the live broadcast of the first panel, discussing on the buildup to tomorrow’s Free Iran, 2018 Gathering, discussed on Iran Policy, started.
Amb. Adam Ereli:U.S. Ambassador to Bahrain 2007-2011and Deputy State Department Spokesman 2003-2006 addressed the panel,
Something we could all agree on is, what a difference a year makes, when you think of where Iran was and the United States policy was last year versus where it is today. You know I mean at least we know where we stand right and we also know that where we stand is working. So I think that’s something is very salutary, I guess. I would also say is what a difference if one year makes a big difference, two years makes double that difference. So the train line certainly seems to be moving in the right direction. The other the other point I would make is that sanctions are working. And we need to remember that and we need in my view to take that as Key point of rock for reference. You know as Maria said, I mean the reality is reached ninety thousand to the dollar a few days ago which is extraordinary. And again let’s be clear it’s both good and bad. It’s good in the sense that it shows that the regime is under pressure. It’s bad because for the Iranian people and we should always bear that in mind that, there are two sides to every point and the sooner we can free them from this the better will be for everybody. But the other sort of commend to you a picture on Twitter. Of an old man in Tehran who’s holding up a sign that says, I’m offering my left kidney for sale I’ll take five hundred dollars. Here’s the address to come to get it.
