I guess if I was sitting in Iran I would say the U.S. sanctioned us--so what. What do we care? I mean, this is a joke.

What good does sanctioning do if you do not do anything about it when a country like this takes the action it did?

It sure seems to me that it would be very difficult to argue that there is not backsliding going on.

If I was another country I would say well, look, the U.S. asked them not to dock.
