Jean Pelletier
I don't think that China and Russia, at the moment, are going to support or even allow a decision to impose meaningful political or economic sanctions against Iran to go through. And that's not necessarily because Russia and China have a strong economic relationship with Iran, but because they fear, I believe, the rapid escalation of this crisis.
Daryl Kimball
We strongly believe there is no reason for sanctions but in any case we will not cut our oil exports.
Oil Minister Kazem Vaziri
[EU sanctions] would affect U.S. importers [those products] first. But if the EU retaliates [by imposing its own trade tariffs] it could hurt any company [in the import-export business]. We don't know which categories they would choose to sanction.
Lee Greenbaum
It is important that they are sporting sanctions rather than fines, which clubs have the means to pay.

Hossein Entezami
The deadlines outlined in the proposed draft are quite categorical and provide a foundation for sanctions against Iran. We consider it all premature.

Bruce Evers
The United States seems to be saying they can get a package of sanctions to get Iran to back down, but ... I don't see that coming. I don't anticipate [Iran] refreezing [its nuclear] program.
Ray Takeyh
We will not seek to delay unnecessarily the transition to a permanent lifting of sanctions, ... We would like to see Libya genuinely comply and return to full participation in the family of nations. But the requirements set by the Security Council must first be addressed.

George Galloway

Yuval Steinitz
Sanctions are one-sided, unilateral actions taken by some without any regard for the people.

Michael Rebell
Schools and districts wouldn't face any sanctions because of the lateness of the tests.
Ginger Reynolds
Employer sanctions can be a very efficient tool if enforced. The problem is the way the law reads, it's basically a joke. It basically gives employers a huge loophole to walk through.
George Borjas
There is too much supply and prices are likely to fall further. The Iranian situation is already reflected in current prices unless there is more substance on when sanctions may be imposed or oil exports affected.
Makoto Takeda
They threaten us. Their threats and sanctions have made us independent.

Frederick Chiluba
At this time, sanctions are on track to become effective on Sept. 4.
Harold Creel
Proclamation 1017 does not give us the power to close down broadcast outfits. Under EO 546 and in the terms and conditions we have with broadcasting firms given authorization (license to operate), we can impose sanctions including suspension of their authorization and cancellation of the authorization. In so doing, we have to follow due process, through public hearings.
Ronald Solis
It's not the sanctions, but the regime.
Rachel Bronson
Our view ... is that economic sanctions tend to hit the people in the street rather than the regime, and they're not very effective.
Alexander Milinkevich
Sanctions weld together the state and the population.
Jochen Clausnitzer

James Moore
I don't understand how the Europeans can guarantee fuel supply if the U.S. isn't explicitly saying it won't impose sanctions on companies that cooperate with the Iranians.
George Perkovich
The argument that these narrowly targeted sanctions have hurt the larger economy could only be true if the economy as a whole were entirely in the hands of the 86 government and party officials on the list and they controlled all of it.
Christopher Dell
Sanctions made our job harder. But our companies have good personnel, our engineers and experts are well-known all over the world. Knowing these qualities we began our work assured.

The issue cannot be solved by imposing sanctions or similar measures.
Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

No member of the council is arguing for the lifting of sanctions against Iraq because everybody accepts there are significant areas of incompleteness with respect to missiles, with respect to chemical weapons and with respect to biological weapons.
Sir John Weston
I mean, if you think of Iraq, and the (Indian) company NEC, we know they were providing missile technology to Iraq in violation of the sanctions, and NEC is associated with the Indian military. It's not just a renegade company.
David Albright

Mikhail Kamynin
All four students face criminal charges, all four students face school sanctions.

Jean Jacques Rousseau
North Korea is just avoiding (being subject to) economic sanctions.
Teruaki Masumoto
Yes, significant numbers of Iraqi children have died, and it's disgraceful and it's horrible ... The question is: Is it the sanctions? No. Iraq is importing the same amount of food they did before the war.
Rachel Bronson

Sanctions could only be discussed when evidence is provided that Iran is pursuing not only peaceful work in the nuclear field.
Mikhail Kamynin
The strategy of appeasement has not worked. There's no harm in trying sanctions.
Kethesh Loganathan

Bruce Buck
We will only be able to talk about sanctions after we have concrete facts confirming that Iran is not exclusively involved in peaceful nuclear activities.
Mikhail Kamynin

Gregory Schulte
The Iran-U.N. row and potential for economic sanctions reminds us that geopolitical situations remain a key factor in giving support to oil prices.
Tobin Gorey
The EU has become pretty cynical about sanctions. That is partly because there are so many important economic interests at stake. But it is also because the EU is not convinced by the idea that sanctions can bring about real change.
Mark Leonard
This can't be done by piecemeal arrangements or solutions. It has to be done within a comprehensive context that means a serious easing of sanctions or a complete lifting of sanctions.
Tariq Aziz

Philip Robinson
If he doesn't do it, then his country will face sanctions and become very vulnerable. If he does do it, then he will immediately get international support. The crucial question is whether he has the support of the military chiefs.
Patrick Seale
I would imagine they'll use their 20-day price trigger as the barometer, which means not until the end of June, by when we should know what the UN is doing with smart sanctions.
Lawrence Eagles
It is our position that the six-way talks cannot be resumed amid challenging U.S. sanctions.

AWB could not inform DFAT and the UN that that debt was being paid out of these two (wheat) contracts without disclosing that the actions in 1995/1996 had themselves been outside the sanctions.
John Agius
Similarly, I informed the U.S. government, effectively the policeman for sanctions violations in the Gulf, of maritime smuggling on a massive scale that was occurring, to no avail.

Nana Sutresna
While under U.S. sanctions, it?s impossible to sit face-to-face and discuss abandoning our nuclear deterrent.
Rodong Sinmun
Germany would be the western industrial nation to suffer most if economic sanctions went against Iran. German businesses deliver far more to the region than possibly Great Britain, France or Italy.

The (U.N.) Security Council has warned for a long time that sanctions are needed.
General Henri Bentegeat
The Catholic laity doesn't know what priests the Vatican is being asked to sanction. They don't know what the bishops are recommending. We don't know why some get no sanctions, some get minimal sanctions and some get removed from the priesthood. If sanctions are imposed, it is often months before it's announced. And there seems to be absolutely no monitoring of these prayer and penance guys.
David Clohessy
Some sanctions have been announced which are pretty irrelevant.
Tariq Altaf
Measures ... sanctions, or other kind of barriers to our markets.
Brandon Evans
The IOC is convinced that sporting sanctions are enough in the fight against doping.

Frederick Barton
Self-imposed codes of conduct have few signatories and have so far lacked serious sanctions.
Siim Kallas
If you hand over these people, you would contribute to undermining the regime. The Syrian government might think that sanctions are a better alternative at the end of the day.
Marwan Kabalan
Sanctions will be related to a region's general allocation funds.
Anggito Abimanyu
The timing is really interesting. China and Iran appear to be collaborating not only for energy development but also to increase the stakes in case sanctions are imposed. This is a subtle message that even if sanctions are passed, you could have limited sanctions without touching upon oil.
Shen Dingli
You have people concerned about inflation picking up, you have higher oil prices, and you have the talk of sanctions against Iran. All of these factors may keep investors relatively more interested in gold than they otherwise would be.
Jeffrey Christian
If UNSCOM cannot go where it needs to go when it needs to go, it's not going to be able to finish the job, and if it can't finish the job, the sanctions won't be lifted.
Sir John Weston
Rather than let the CCS (Central Coast Section) investigate the matter and decide sanctions, I, as principal, along with our student records officer, the Redwood City police and our vice principals, decided to take our own actions.
Morgan Marchbanks
They know they're sitting on a ton of gas and they're dying to develop it. They can't do it by themselves, and sanctions that prevent them from doing it would hurt Iran.

Michael Hodges
The National Oil Company had restricted access to many of the industries' emerging technologies through its years of economic sanctions.
Craig Mcmahon
We have moved to begin the process of revoking the probation based on the seriousness of the underlying crime that placed him on probation. It will be up to a judge to decide what sanctions should be imposed.
Stephen Holmes
I think this is a disaster, ... I think it is the latest chapter in a failed U.S. policy. The administration's own estimate is about 10,000 people will die in this attack, on top of the 6,000 to 7,000 people already dying from the sanctions each month.
Kevin Martin
The need for environmental sanctions stems from the growth in building and development and the consequent lack of land.
Isaac Herzog
The prosecution's blatant discovery abuse unnecessarily extends the hearing, thus wasting this court's time and resources. Sanctions are in order for the willful failure to produce discovery.
Robert Sanger
You might view this particular trip, I think, as bridge-building with Canada. The country is certainly opening up since the UN and U.S. sanctions were lifted. It's a major push by Libya to kick-start growth.
Jim Mcfarland
Our fears have been born out by the reports of several international humanitarian agencies, which have stated that these sanctions have stifled economic activity inside Afghanistan. New sanctions will compound the misery of the Afghan people.
Abdul Sattar
The goal of the process will be to focus on accountability, compensation as called for in the resolutions protecting the families and eventually lifting of sanctions.
James Cunningham
These sanctions seem to me to be very sad, but the judges are those who give the orders and I do not say anything. I hope that they continue applying the regulation with the same inflexibility in all cases. I did not hear on the radio the indication of where it was compulsory [to keep to one side], but I do not want to make a polemic.
Manolo Saiz
This will take away the right of those people to go outside the country and ask other countries to impose sanctions on Zimbabwe.
Patrick Chinamasa
(Lukashenko) has provided proof that he is a dictator and must be treated as such. In addition, one must think about the possibility of other sanctions.
Elmar Brok
Although the market is also well supplied with crude oil and products, it was roiled by geopolitical events - insurgency in Nigeria's oil-producing region and the potential for sanctions against Iran due to its ramped up nuclear activities. Fears of supply disruptions caused prices to move higher.
