When the Obama administration refused to grant a visa to Iran's designated ambassador to the United Nations, Hamid Aboutalebi, it was continuing a long-running hostile U.S. policy toward the Islamic Republic.

Progress is being made, but the Obama administration refuses to talk straight about Iran's nuclear intentions, argues Sheldon Richman, who highlights Iran's often overlooked policy toward nuclear weapons.
