Chicago, IL — “We have too much to do in Iran and Afghanistan”, so U.S. Congressman Mark Kirk (R-IL) is opposing a military option on how to deal with Iran’s nuclear ambitions.  The Republican Senate candidate is instead favoring a gasoline sanction as way to make the Iranian economy implode.

Reading from a recent United Nations report, Kirk said Iran could produce weapons grade uranium in six months or less, so “time is running out”.   US policy should be “to not have a conflict”, Kirk said.
