Washington:
The United States on Wednesday announced new sanctions targeting Iran’s nuclear program, which was closely seen on the row between opponents.
The Treasury Department said that it was banning five institutions under additional officials, including a person on Iran’s nuclear power organization and a person on a nuclear program.
Practically, this step is symbolic because the United States already implements comprehensive restrictions on Iran and especially its nuclear program, whose scientists have also been the target of a murder campaign for Israel.
But the restrictions are the latest pressure shows ahead of the United States talks, which are scheduled to be held in Oman on Saturday.
Treasury Secretary Scott Besent said in a statement, “Iranian regime’s negligent discovery is a serious threat to the United States and is a threat to regional stability and global security,” Treasury Secretary Scott Besent said in a statement, “to disrupt any attempt by Iran to pursue his nuclear program.”
Iran refuses to search for nuclear weapons and the American intelligence has not concluded that Iran is chasing an nuclear weapon, just saying that the clerical state can quickly make a bomb if it options to do so.
Trump, who ripped out an earlier nuclear deal during his first time, has hoped for a diplomatic solution, but repeatedly warned the use of force when negotiations fail.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that if there is a very long conversation, military action would be “unavoidable”.
