Neocon Stupidity in the Senate.


Dec 19 (Reuters) - Despite opposition from the Obama administration, U.S. senators introduced legislation on Thursday to impose sanctions on Iran if the country breaks an interim deal struck last month under which Tehran agreed to curb its nuclear program.

Democrats Robert Menendez, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Charles Schumer, the third-ranking Democrat in the Senate, and Republican Senator Mark Kirk introduced with 23 others the bill intended to choke off funding to Iran's nuclear program by cutting off its oil sales.

The senators introduced the "Nuclear Weapon Free Iran Act" despite the Obama administration's insistence that passing such a measure would disrupt delicate negotiations between Tehran and world powers over the Islamic republic's nuclear program.

Iran's foreign minister also has said a new sanctions law would kill the interim agreement reached in Geneva on Nov. 24. In that agreement, Tehran agreed to limit uranium enrichment in return for an easing of international sanctions.
