U.S. levies new Iran-related sanctions
posted by Christopher W. Holton
The U.S. is pursuing sanctions against 18 individuals and other entities for supporting Iran’s ballistic missile program and other factors, including Iran’s “egregious human rights record,” the State Department announced Tuesday.
“Iran continues to support terrorist groups such as Hizballah, Hamas, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad that threaten Israel and stability in the Middle East. Iran has maintained its steadfast support for the Assad regime, despite Assad’s atrocities against his own people.”
