Executive Director Amos Yadlin of the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University has responded to the new sanctions imposed by the United States on Iran, saying "The new American sanctions process is not complete, because they are running it alone."

Interviewed by Radio 103FM, the former head of military intelligence chief said, "The sanctions will be less effective than the previous ones, but the Iranian economy is still in serious trouble. The Iranian public is fed up with the regime and is not willing to pay the price. The rebellion is in the home and not on the street."
