Inside Story - Is Iran's show of force a real threat?

This week saw a three-day Iranian military exercise in the Gulf, in which the country's long and short range missile technology was on display. The show of force came at the same time as a new European Union (EU) ban on the import of Iranian crude came into effect. Sanctions are being intensified as the EU together with the US continue to press demands that Iran give total international access to its nuclear technology programme - demands that Tehran sees as a direct attack on the country's national sovereignty.

European oil embargo squeezes Iran

A new European Union oil embargo on Iran goes into effect today, further tightening the screws on an economy and populace that has suffered from years of sanctions led by the United States and Europe.

The West hopes that the deepest sanctions on Iran to date force the country to make concessions on its nuclear energy program, which they believe is aimed at preparing the country for building a weapon.

Many Iranians believe they are being unfairly targeted by the West, which will find any excuse to constrain the country's power. Whether the new sanctions are having any effect may be evident next week, when major powers and Iran resume talks in Turkey.
