AP — A Dubai Islamic bank with ties to the emirate's ruling family said Wednesday it stopped doing business with Iranian banks in December, shortly before the United States approved new sanctions targeting the country's financial system.

wait till oil and water run
by alx1711 on Fri Mar 02, 2012 02:27 AM PSTwait till their oil and water run dry, these tazies crawl back and beg to Iran and Iranians, future is near.
As i always say, when these tazies are hungry they obey you and when their stomach is full they are like dogs with rabies..
It is estimated that they will run out of oil in 50yrs.
On soft power
by asadabad on Thu Mar 01, 2012 10:36 PM PSTThe UAE should've done a long time ago. The iranian regime doesn't respect anything except the language of force/sanctions. It's a shame that the iranian people have to feel the squeeze thanks to their terrorist rulers, but it's a small price to pay for their eventual freedom..
Didn't the local Hezbollahis get the memo?
by Doost daaram pas hastam on Thu Mar 01, 2012 07:20 PM PSTAccording to the great fearless leader Khamenei sanctions will only make Iran stronger. I guess the rest of the world is finally giving IRI what it has been asking for.
Today

Good News with caveats
by Simorgh5555 on Thu Mar 01, 2012 02:23 PM PSTTime to dig the claws into the IR's flesh though I fear sanctions will be a long drawn out event. Destroying the IR Revolutionary Guards will be necessary.
Airtight sanctions
by Fred on Thu Mar 01, 2012 12:31 PM PSTGood step, but not enough. Air and maritime cargo inspections is a must.
