What do you think about these sanctions against Iran which have been imposed by the Americans and European? Can they really change Iran's policy? I think the westerners still don't know the Iranian leaders, this policy has never been changed in the last 34 years, even during the 8 years war.

On their own? No. A carrot-and-stick approach is needed: punishment if the Iranians refuse to dismantle their nuclear plants (possibly assassination of those involved and missile strikes on military bases/laboratories/factories) and reward (like a lifting of sanctions and resumption of trade) if they comply

It will not work it just makes things worser for the people of Iran for food and medication.  After Kurdistan, Iran is the 2nd region I feel most conneted with and seeing the Iranian people suffer due to sanctions and idiotic leaders is upsetting.

Some days ago Ahmadinejad said that there is a very more importat thing than the economic problems in Iran and this thing is that all countries in the region are being united against us. I think he is right, these economic problems have always existed in Iran, in fact our current situation is not worse than before, but especillay about Iran's policy toward Syria, we see that not only the west, but almost all Islamic countries have stood against Iran, I think the better thing for the western countries is that they focus on this thing, instead of the sanctions.

Nick is correct. Sanctions with out the threat of immediate enforcement thru mil ops are useless. This can either be direct or indirect. Vocalization of the retaliation, without demonstration, remains an absurd abrogation and appeasement of the threat.
