Clinton: Iran Sanctions Can Be Eased if They Cooperate
Just in case anybody forgot what the point of sanctions are
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton held out the possibility on Wednesday that sanctions on Iran could be eased quickly if Tehran worked with major powers to address questions about its nuclear program.
Speaking to reporters about protests in Iran triggered by the collapse of the Iranian currency, which has lost 40 percent of its value against the dollar in a week, Clinton blamed the Iranian government -- rather than Western sanctions -- for the financial troubles.
