U.S. intensifies pressure on Iran

From McClatchy's, here
"... In Washington, the drive for financial sanctions has proved a boon to Bush administration aides seeking to head off military operations against Iran, which Vice President Dick Cheney favors. Whether it will succeed in thwarting Iran’s nuclear ambitions remains to be seen... But Russia and China worry that sanctions are a slippery slope that will lead to war... in some cases, when Western companies and banks move out of Iran, Chinese or other Asian firms simply move in and take the business"
