C-Span: Trita Parsi on Targeted Sanctions in Iran
Trita Parsi, President of the National Iranian American Council, was interviewed on C-Span's Washington Journal about sanctions in Iran, and how they might negatively impact the recent and on-going anti-government protests in Iran.
“If we go for, for instance, targeted sanctions that actually target the actors within the Iranian government that are responsible for the human rights abuses, that are responsible for the nuclear policy, perhaps that would be a better way to go than to impose sanctions that according to Secretary Gates himself that would impose extreme hardship on the same people that right now are trying to fight for democracy inside of Iran,” said Parsi.
He also discussed the Nonproliferation Treaty.
