WASHINGTON — Western powers’ strong new sanctions on Iran have so far failed to push Tehran’s leaders toward compromise on their disputed nuclear program, a senior European diplomat said Tuesday.
In a grim assessment, the European official said that while the economic punishments clearly have inflicted pain on Iran, there has been no signal from its leaders that they are willing to yield ground to relieve the international pressure. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
