US House sanctions Irans energy sector and elite guard

advertisement

US House of Representatives overwhelming voted on Tuesday to label the Revolutionary Guard in Iran as a terrorist organization and mounted pressure on Tehrans energy sector.

The bill passed by a 397 to 16 vote came few hours before Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejads speech in the UN General Assembly in New York and would be considered as an additional tool for President Bush administration in addressing the nuclear ambitions of Iran.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

By diplomatic means or by military force?
