Obama freezes all Iranian assets in the US

The United States has escalated tensions with Iran once again, this after mad President Obama called for a freeze of all Iranian assets
held in the US.
The executive order signed on Monday was in reaction to what the US is calling "deceptive practices" by Iran. Israel has also joined in by stepping up threats against Iran, and US Secretary Defense Leon Panetta has acknowledged Israel may attack Iran in the next 90 days. Vijay Prashad, director of International Studies at Trinity College, takes a deeper look on the escalated possibility of war. Source
