Fearing loss of lucrative deal, Sweden opposes new Iran sanctions

The sanction are not only criminal, but have no merit to speak of, which is why only the West is issuing them. The rest of the relevant world ignores the West's obsession with economic terror, because it is self defeating. Hopefully Sweden will not lie down, and be trampled by such injustices.

Once again Sweden shows weakness!!!

I totally agree with the new sanctions with Iran. At the same time EU should apply the same sanctions with Israel too.

Sweden can be gtrusted to do always what is in its interests.

Bofors designed the G8 cannons for SA during the sanctions period and the Socialist Saint,Olof Palme was selling Bofors guns to both India and Pakistan,all while on the official UN "mediating mission" between those 2 countriesin the state of war.It must have benefited him personally,his wealth disclosed after his death couldn't have possibly been acquired on PM salary alone

Khamenie putting back the $40 billion plus he and his family have stolen from the people to start with. That should kick start the economy

Well someone in Europe has a heart in their chest. Thank you Sweden :)

Didn't Sweden supply steel and machinery to Germany during WW II?

Whatever happened to Swedish justice and respect for human rights?

hmmmm.....The European foreign ministers are due to discuss significant new sanctions including a ban on banking and trade deals with Iran.Destroying the economy of Iran and ruining the lives of thousands of innocent civilians the magnum opus for which the European Union was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize? It is nothing but is a sick joke and a demented fraud.

...would just say that Sweden opposes more sanctions, that's it. That it does so because of some deal with Iran, is only the opinion of said Israeli official. Yet Haaretz makes a headline as if such official holds universal truth. Haaretz is becoming more partisan by the day. Soon there'll be no difference between it and the JPost.

The last sane country.
