Foot Shooting: 'Disturbing oil imports hurts US first'

[The Northerner]

As the US seeks new ways to undermine the Syrian government, it's now slapping even more sanctions on Damascus' closest ally - Iran. President Obama's given the all-clear to the toughest measures yet against the Islamic state's oil industry. Washington will take punitive economic measures against any country that refuses to reduce imports of fuel from Iran.

Soraya Sepahpour-Ulrich, researcher and writer talks to RT. She thinks America's shooting itself in the foot by such sanctions.
