Hillary Announces Start of Sanctions Push, Arab Poll Says Iran is Bigger Threat than Israel

On December 14, she said that the engagement policy with Tehran hadn�t
worked and now it needs to press for additional sanctions.
Either this is her attempt to lobby for a tougher line against other
administration officials or it's the long-awaited start of the sanctions
made necessary by the looming of the administration�s own end-of-the-year
deadline to get a deal with Iran or impose more sanctions.
Trying to negotiate, she said, has "produced very little" so "additional
pressure is going to be called for."
Her phrasing was interesting, almost as if she was taking a poke at rivals
in the administration who are reluctant to take action. "I don't think
anyone can doubt that our outreach has produced very little in terms of any
kind of a positive response from the Iranians," Clinton said, as if daring
someone in the White House to disagree?
