NY Sun editorial falsely claimed Obama advocates "abandon[ing] economic sanctions" against Iran

SUMMARY: A New York Sun editorial claimed that Sen. Barack Obama and "many Democrats" advocate that the United States "abandon economic sanctions" against Iran. In fact, Obama introduced the Iran Sanctions Enabling Act on May 17, which would "authorize State and local governments to direct divestiture from, and prevent investment in, companies with investments of $20,000,000 or more in Iran's energy sector."
