| Bush extends sanctions on mullahs of Iran |
| 2004-11-11 |
| President George W. Bush on Tuesday extended for one year a range of financial sanctions first imposed on Iran in November 1979, the White House announced in a statement. "Our relations with Iran have not yet returned to normal," Bush said in a letter to the U.S. House of Representatives. The original sanctions, imposed by then-president Jimmy Carter, froze assets of Iran's government following the November 1979 takeover of the U.S. embassy in Tehran. |
