UN Security Council imposes new sanctions on Iran
United
Nations,
Mar
25:
The
UN
Security
Council
unanimously
approved
today
new
arms
and
financial
sanctions
against
Iran
for
refusing
to
suspend
uranium
enrichment.
The
package
of
sanctions,
aimed
at
curbing
Iran's
nuclear
programme,
targets
the
country's
arms
exports,
its
state-owned
Bank
Sepah
and
the
elite
Revolutionary
Guards.
The
15-member
body
would
suspend
the
sanctions
if
Iran
halted
enrichment.
The
new
measures
are
a
follow-up
to
a
resolution
adopted
on
December
23
banning
trade
in
sensitive
nuclear
materials
and
ballistic
missiles,
as
well
as
freezing
assets
of
individuals
and
institutions
associated
with
atomic
programs.
