U.S. adds sanctions on Iran
The United States slapped new economic sanctions against Iran over its ballistic missile program on Tuesday — just a day after suggesting that Tehran was following the guidelines of the 2015 Iran nuclear accord. The U.S. government said it was targeting 18 entities and people for supporting what it said was “illicit Iranian actors or transnational criminal activity.” Those sanctioned had backed Iran’s military of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
