Then as the screws turn on Iran with today’s closure of its access to international bank transfers, we look into Iran’s aggressive and defensive foreign policy and the extent to which sanctions are hurting the Iranian people but not the regime.

Then finally as the rising price of gas becomes the central issue in this year’s election campaigns, we talk with Michael Klare about his new book, “The Race For What’s Left: The Global Scramble For the World’s Last Resources” and discuss how costly and increasing risks will be taken to extract the last drops of oil, exposing the environment to greater danger. |
