It's not like this is a new item on the agenda. Excerpt from above link:


As a result of Iran's support for international terrorism and its aggressive actions against non-belligerent shipping in the Persian Gulf, President Reagan, on October 29, 1987, issued Executive Order 12613 imposing a new import embargo on Iranian-origin goods and services. Section 505 of the International Security and Development Cooperation Act of 1985 ("ISDCA") was utilized as the statutory authority for the embargo which gave rise to the Iranian Transactions Regulations, Title 31, Part 560 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (the "ITR").

Effective March 16, 1995, as a result of Iranian sponsorship of international terrorism and Iran's active pursuit of weapons of mass destruction, President Clinton issued Executive Order 12957 prohibiting U.S. involvement with petroleum development in Iran. On May 6, 1995, he signed Executive Order 12959, pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") as well as the ISDCA, substantially tightening sanctions against Iran.

On August 19, 1997, the President signed Executive Order 13059 clarifying Executive Orders 12957 and 12959 and confirming that virtually all trade and investment activities with Iran by U.S. persons, wherever located, are prohibited.

On March 17, 2000, the Secretary of State announced that sanctions against Iran would be eased to allow U.S. persons to purchase and import carpets and food products such as dried fruits, nuts, and caviar from Iran. This change was implemented through amendments to the ITR at the end of April 2000.

Effective November 10, 2008, the authorization for "U-turn" transfers involving Iran was revoked.

When goods will not cross borders, soldiers will

I've always had an issue with that.

There are plenty of instances in our past where goods were crossing just fine and we invaded all the same.

Pretty much for the last 100 years now in South/Central America.

I like the saying that if you are trading with somebody they have an invested interest not to attack you, but if you are blocking their trade they have nothing to lose.

That's an argument with little substance.

Sure they have nothing to lose in trade, but they could lose many more things.

When goods will not cross borders, soldiers will unless we are talking about the United States whose soldiers cross borders whenever Americans get a wild hair up their ass. © -LFoD
