Either they can give up their nuclear program and their support for terrorism, in which case we'll given them all kinds of benefits. Otherwise, we'll join in comprehensive, multilateral sanctions that will cripple their very fragile economy."” ThinkingGivingKindSupportEconomySeriousGiving UpProgramTerrorismAll KindsIranian Author:Kenneth M.
