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.
