U.S. expands sanctions on Iran, blacklists firms and persons |
2012-07-13 |
[Al Ahram] The United States ratcheted up its sanctions against Iran on Thursday, blacklisting a number of firms and individuals for contributing to what it says is an effort to acquire nuclear weapons. The U.S. Treasury said it was also identifying a number of "front companies and banks" linked to nuclear proliferation, an attempt to make it harder to evade existing sanctions. |
