06/16/2008: "EU agrees to freeze Iran bank's assets"

A British official says European Union nations have agreed in principle to freeze the assets of Iran's largest bank.

"Action will start today in new phase of sanctions on oil and gas," Brown said. "We will take any necessary action so that Iran is aware of the choice it needs to make."

The U.S. and some of its allies accuse Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons. Iran denies that, saying its atomic program is aimed at using nuclear reactors to generate electricity.

The U.N. Security Council has imposed three sets of limited sanctions against Iran for refusing to halt uranium enrichment, a technology that can both produce nuclear fuel and turn out the material needed for nuclear warheads.

[ This is the start of aggression against Iran. War seems inevitable. ]

Iran falling to Western occupation just might turn the Cold War into a really hot one. Russia and especially China aren't likely to sit around this century.
