Sanctions hit the sick and elderly..

  http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jan/13/iran-lifesaving-drugs-international-sanctions   Hundreds of thousands of Iranians with serious illnesses have been put at imminent risk by the  consequences of international sanctions.   Iran unable to get life-saving drugs Sanctions imposed on Iran and instigated by Israel and the United states, are without doubt the greatest act of hypocrisy that the western world has indulged in for decades.
