The United States announced harsh new penalties on the Iranian military and state-owned banking systems Thursday, raising pressure on the world financial system to cut ties with a regime the West accuses of bankrolling terrorism and seeking a nuclear bomb.
The U.S. sanctions on elements of Iran's vast armed forces and its largest bank are the most sweeping since 1979
Paulson and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice announced the penalties together, a recognition that a year-old effort to levy unilateral Treasury sanctions has had far greater effect than the diplomatic channels Rice has pursued with Iran.
The Bush administration has won two rounds of watered-down U.N. Security Council sanctions but has been frustrated by months of delay in seeking a third, tougher set of penalties.
Iran has ignored the U.N. sanctions and an offer from European nations that do extensive business with Iran would give the oil-rich country economic and other incentives in exchange for dropping nuclear activities that could produce a bomb.
Russia and China, which hold veto power at the U.N. Security Council, are allies or business partners of Iran and are the chief holdup for the new sanctions sought by the United States.

You should try forming your own opinions multi instead of copying and pasting everyone elses, though that would just show everyone how warped and irrational you really are. But your writing skills are so poor you can hardly convey something anyway, though your thoughts are probably a little difficult to convey to rational people. Ah forget it.
One of my opinions is that the U.S. should start fighting terrorism with terrorism. Iran's annual "Death to the U.S." rally would be an excellant target and I bet Iran would drastically improve it's behaviour after a little brutality on it's own people.
