US places new sanctions on Iran

The US imposed new sanctions on companies and individuals for connection with Iran’s nuclear programme, evading previous US sanctions and supporting terrorism reports the BBC.

The US Under-Secretary for Terrorism and Financial intelligence in a statement said the sanctions reflected the  “continuing determination to take action against anyone, anywhere who violates our sanctions.”

Iran and world powers are working to reach a permanent agreement on resolving the nuclear dispute by the 24th of November 2015.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
