New US Sanctions on Iran
New US Sanctions on Iran
by Stephen Lendman
With Iran celebrating international sanctions lifted on its entirely peaceful nuclear program, the US Treasury imposed new ones unilaterally and illegally - again solely for political reasons.
A treasury press release said Iran’s ballistic missile program was targeted, unrelated to its nuclear activities.
Eleven domestic and foreign entities as well as individuals are targeted. Treasury Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Adam Szubin lied, claiming “Iran’s ballistic missile program poses a significant threat to regional and global security, and it will continue to be subject to international sanctions.”
“We have consistently made clear that the United States will vigorously press sanctions against Iranian activities outside of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action - including those related to Iran’s support for terrorism, regional destabilization, human rights abuses, and ballistic missile program.SteveLendmanBlog: New US Sanctions on Iran
Ismerica is the enemy of all good people. Canada has to exist adjacent to the worlds most dangerous and criminaly insane country. A seething heap of corruption on a rotten political corpse.
