On the New Iranian Sanctions


Obama: What Change?

Last night, I was watching live on BBC as the UN Security Council as it voted through a new resolution imposing fresh new sanctions on Iran. 12 for, 2 against (Brazil and Turkey) and Lebanon abstained.

When Mohammad Khazaee responded in his speech (Iranian representative to the UN, picture above), bringing up past injustices wrought onto Iran, Susan Rice (US rep to UN, picture below) laughed incredulously. Or at least, it was presented in that way on the BBC footage.


I know this is a Bollywood gossip blog, but do take some time to watch this series: Iran and the West (BBC docu) on youtube, and make a new judgment. There is definitely more material around, but take this as a starter.
