Secretary Clinton on Friday, June 25, welcomed passage of the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act of 2010, whose aims include "constraining Iran's nuclear program, changing the calculus of Iran's leaders, and demonstrating that Iran's policies decrease its standing, and further isolate it in the international community."
