U.S. Officials Coming to Israel to Discuss Iran
(Ha'aretz) Barak Ravid and Zvi Bar'el - Two senior U.S. officials - David Cohen, Undersecretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, who is charge of America's economic sanctions on Iran, and Deputy Secretary of State Thomas Nides - will come to Israel next week to discuss plans for new sanctions on Iran in response to the IAEA's latest report on its nuclear program. Since both Russia and China remain adamantly opposed to new sanctions on Iran, Washington is focusing on mobilizing a "coalition of the willing" to impose new sanctions unilaterally. It hopes this coalition will include Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea and more.
