Pressuring Iran: Measures Outside of the Security Council

Lunch briefing for Congressional staffers featuring Daniel Glaser, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Terrorist Financing and Financial Crime, Department of Treasury, and Patricia McNerney, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Security and Nonproliferation, Department of State. Our speakers discussed the types of financial pressures the United States and its allies have exerted against Iran - through means other than United Nations Security Council actions - in the past over its nuclear ambitions and what can be expected in the future as the prospects for a third round of sanctions at the Council remain uncertain.
