Why does the EU join in sanctions against Iran?

RT

The European Union has now joined the US, UK and Canada in sanctions against Iran.

The sanctions are an attempt to prevent Iran from furthering their nuclear enrichment program.

 Despite Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta admitting that Iran is not making nuclear weapons, the futile sanctions continue.

The EU makes up for 20 percent of Iran's oil exports and many experts believe Iran won't feel the effects of the sanctions.

Jamal Abdi, policy director of the National Iranian American Council, joins us to discuss the latest.
