enforcement of sanctions against Iran and North Korea, told reporters
in Seoul on Tuesday that the U.S. has no choice but to pressure Iran
because earlier offers to negotiate were rebuffed.
"Pressure is not an end in itself," Einhorn said.
"Instead, sanctions are intended to bring Iran's leaders to the
conclusion that their country would be better served by ending its
noncompliance with its international obligations and starting to
address serious concerns about Iran's nuclear intentions."
Iran says its nuclear program is designed to generate electricity, not
build weapons.
Stuart Levey, the Treasury Department's under secretary for terrorism
and financial intelligence, said sanctions against some Iranian
organizations and senior officials are meant to complicate the groups'
efforts to support extremist movements in the Mideast.
"Iran has long been recognized as the world's most active state
sponsor of terrorism, and Iran is by far the most prolific funder of
terrorist organizations in the world," Levey said.
On Tuesday the top Democrat and ranking Republican on the House
Foreign Affairs Committee said they are forming a working group to
ensure that a set of U.S. sanctions signed into law by Obama on July 1
are fully implemented and effectively enforced.
Reps. Howard L. Berman, D-Calif., and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla.,
said in a joint statement that they believe the July 1 sanctions are
already limiting Iran's access to international markets.
"We will continue to pressure and isolate Iran until it terminates its
illicit nuclear weapons activities," they said. "A nuclear-armed Iran
is unacceptable."
The sanctions announced by Levey expand the list of individuals and
groups in Iran with whom Americans are not permitted to do business.
The sanctions also freeze any assets of the organizations and
officials that are under U.S. jurisdiction.
