More Sanctions On Iran



United States And Its Allies Expand Sanctions On Iran -- New York Times

WASHINGTON — The United States and its allies are rolling out a new set of sanctions against Iran on Monday, with the country’s central bank and petrochemical industry as targets. The move tightened the vise on Tehran after a United Nations report on its nuclear activities, but demonstrated the continued limitations to international pressure.

The Treasury Department will name the Central Bank of Iran as a “primary money laundering concern” on Monday, an administration official said — a symbolically important step, but one that is short of formal sanctions, which would probably be resisted by China and other Asian countries that import oil from Iran.
