Obama Turns to China, Middle East for Iran Pressure

The Obama administration will urge China and other governments in Asia, the Middle East and South America to impose sanctions on Iran in a widening effort to persuade the regime to abandon any pursuit of nuclear weapons.

Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Daniel Glaser told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee in Washington today that he and other U.S. officials will travel to these regions to ensure sanctions against Iran are “globalized.”
