Pressure Pushing Down on Me

RE: Companies Feeling More Pressure to Cut Iran Ties (April 23, 2010)

By Peter Baker

To the Editor:

I found this article really interesting because it showed how America seems to feel the need to step up when the UN fails. I think that this pressure to end ties with Iran will have a great impact on this country. However, whether the impact will be good or bad remains to be seen. Also the effectiveness of this strategy has yet to be determined. On one hand Iran could fold and give up its nuclear aspirations. However on the other hand, not every company in the world is going to cut ties to Iran and therefore Iran will most likely always have the funding that it needs, this could mean that this pressure would have no effect at all. One other outcome however, is that Iran could retaliate against the US violently and cause another war. I think the main question now is: is this sanction worth the risk and will it have the outcome that President Obama is looking for. Also what effect will this sanction, and Iran’s reaction to it have worldwide?
