...Obama White House, of course, doesn't see it as a reversal. On Monday a lineup of prominent officials, including Secretary of State Clinton, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett, spoke at a White House event to highlight the Administration's efforts on HIV/AIDS. In perhaps an implicit acknowledgement that this year's commitment has been less than robust, the word of the day was recommitment.

...expanded sanctions is the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which not only controls much of the military and the nuclear program, but has also steadily expanded its control over other areas of Iranian political and economic life in recent years. Though Obama had criticized Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for supporting sanctions against the IRGC when both were running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008, the body's key role in Iran's recent election fiasco has made it a ripe target in the U.S. and abroad. The Administration is hoping that a Security Council resolution will include language...
