Carnegie's Karim Sadjadpour appears on BBC World to discuss the new EU-U.S. sanctions on Iran. Sadjadpour comments that while the new sanctions will likely do little to temper Iran, the mutual mistrust between the United States and Iran is unlikely to end until a new U.S. administration is in place and a new president is elected in Iran in June 2009.
