U.S. Allies Not Waiting for Iran's Sanctions to Come Down
(Washington Times) David R.

Italian oil executives visit Tehran. French farmers and fisheries discuss technological exchanges. Pakistan prepares to lay down a major oil pipeline through Iran, while India opens talks about developing a major port in the Gulf of Oman. The enthusiasm for deals could prove a political headache for the Obama administration, which has insisted that current sanctions could quickly "snap back" into effect if Tehran was caught cheating.
