So silly sanctions

The US Administration “slapped” Iran with new worthless sanctions, mostly barring foreign companies from trading with the Iranian Ministry of Defense. No significant European company dealt with Iran’s Ministry of Defense, and probably no company in the world deals with it directly but through formally independent offshore units. Iran’s Ministry of Defense conducts much trade through froint companies in Dubai, America’s ally in the Middle East which received F-16 jets with Friend-or-Foe codes which allows them to target American and Israeli aircraft.
In order to compensate Israel for the impending Iranian nuclear bomb, Pentagon agreed to move the delivery of Joint Strike Force F/A-22 stealth aircraft from 2014 to 2012. United Arab Emirates will receive JSF fighter jets, too.
