WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate endorsed stringent new sanctions on Iran's energy and shipping sectors in a fresh attempt to hobble the Islamic Republic's economy and hamper its nuclear ambitions.
Ignoring White House opposition spelled out just hours before the vote, the Senate voted 94-0 on Friday for a package of punitive measures that would end sales and transactions with various Iranian domestic industries.
The sanctions build upon penalties that Congress has passed — and President Barack Obama has implemented — that target Tehran's financial and energy sectors.

Rand Paul has shown his true colors, apparently he's a friend to Israel. Please note that Iran hasn't started a war of aggression since the late 1790's. We cannot say the same thing about Israel or the USA.
