An article in the NYT reports that everyday people in Iran have yet to fill the effects of the tough sanctions imposed upon Iran’s oil exports in an effort by the international community to stop their weapons-grade uranium enrichment efforts from continuing. The main thing to take away from this article is that, as I’ve written on before, sanctions often fail due to the fact that the leaders of these nations do not suffer the effects of sanctions, the people do. But the thing is in this report states that not even the people have yet to feel any real economic pain, much less the leaders. So the game goes on as enrichment efforts continue.
