Germany Refuses to Support New Iran Sanctions, Sanction Route Seen Dead
[FOX News] James Rosen - A recent decision by German officials to withhold support for any new sanctions against Iran has pushed a broad spectrum of officials in Washington to develop potential scenarios for a military attack on the Islamic regime, FOX News confirmed Tuesday. Germany - a pivotal player among three European nations to rein in Iran's nuclear program over the last two-and-a-half years through a mixture of diplomacy and sanctions supported by the U.S. - notified its allies last week that the government of Chancellor Angela Merkel refuses to support the imposition of any further sanctions against Iran that could be imposed by the UN Security Council. According to one source, the announcement at a meeting in Berlin left most Bush administration principals concluding that sanctions are dead.
