This article weighs the Security Council Resolution 1929 aimed at Iran- and the further steps taken by the US and the EU’s “package.” The “package” of EU sanctions is found wanting from the standpoint of European values, especially in light of the past, deadly sanctions against Iraq in the 1990s. More Please America First from Lady Ashton? Is the EU once again following the US with regard to Iran?
