Don’t ya miss the days when you drew a line in the sand then dared someone to cross it and when they did, you just re-drew the line? Look we’ve done the sanctions thing time and time again with countries, normally they fall in line & life becomes normal for a bit until they tiptoe over the line again. Just ask North Korea, they hopscotch the line all the time and we play along – PB/TK
New sanctions on Iran announced by Trump administration – By CBS NEWS February 3, 2017, 10:57 AM
The Trump administration on Friday imposed sanctions against multiple entities and people involved in procuring materials and technology to support Iran’s ballistic missile program and the Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard. The move comes after Iran conducted a ballistic missile test Sunday.
“Iran’s continued support for terrorism and development of its ballistic missile program poses a threat to the region, to our partners worldwide, and to the United States. Today’s action is part of Treasury’s ongoing efforts to counter Iranian malign activity abroad that is outside the scope of the JCPOA,” said John E. Smith, director of the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. “We will continue to actively apply all available tools, including financial sanctions, to address this behavior.”
The Treasury Department said that the sanctions are consistent with the Iranian nuclear deal’s guidelines and as a result of the sanctions, “all property and interests in property of those designated today subject to U.S. jurisdiction are blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with them.”
