| The United States Treasury on Tuesday said it had imposed sanctions against five more Iranian entities, which it claimed have provided support or materials to Iran's nuclear and missile programmes. The Treasury said the entities, designated as weapons of mass destruction proliferators, are controlled by or acting on behalf of previously blacklisted Iranian entities responsible for uranium enrichment, nuclear development work and ballistic missile programmes. Added to the Treasury's sanctions list was the Nuclear Research Centre for Agriculture and Medicine at Karaj, the Eshfahan Nuclear Fuel Research and Production Centre, Jabber Ibn Hayan, Safety Equipment Procurement Co and Joza Industrial Co. The move bans Americans from doing business with these entities and freezes any assets they may have under US jurisdiction. |
