Obama signed the bill in Hawaii where he is on vacation, at a time of rising tension with Tehran, which has threatened to block the Strait of Hormuz -- through which more than a third of the world's tanker-borne oil passes. The United States has warned it will "not tolerate" such an interruption. Bummer probably wants a war, though it's hard to see how one could have been avoided even with Juan McCain at the helm and Sarah Palin as the heiress apparent. It will give Mitt Romney a chance to look all hawky in his dove feathers. Thank you jimmuh /s

so before this there were no sanctions??
To: bkopto
US President Barack Obama Saturday signed into law tough new sanctions targeting Iran's central bank and financial sector, in a move that could intensify a brewing Gulf showdown. Come on Barack, are you THAT stupid too?
It didn't work for Jimma' Carter in an election year and it certainly "ain't" going to work for YOU either!

The Republicans forced him, and Run Paul is deeply saddened.

What is of importance to me is that the recent saber rattling was meant to be intimidating. Given that the sanction was embedded in a defense appropriation, I would not think it could be vetoed.
But Iran rattled sabers to make the world rattle the Messiah.
What that means is that Iran keeps a close eye on our government and can find the sanction buried in a massive bill

-——The bill, which passed with wide majorities in Congress, did reserve some wiggle room for Obama, granting him the power to grant 120-day waivers if he judges it to be in the national security interests of the United States.——
Hummm!!!
This Congress is the most feckless , gutless, craven, spineless bunch of spork weasels ever to exist....
