Israeli Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz said he approved of the sanctions imposed on Iran Monday by the European Union and urged a “complete economic and political blockade” of the country.
Calling the oil embargo and central bank measures against Iran taken Monday by the EU “very significant,” Steinitz said during a Tuesday sit-down meeting with reporters at Dow Jones’ offices in New York that those steps still “might not be sufficient.”
“I believe that very soon, the Western world ought to put Iran under a complete — not partial — complete economic and political blockade to make the price so difficult for them…to try to change their mind” on pursuing a nuclear program, Steinitz said.
