WASHINGTON - The United States on Monday will sanction more than two dozen people and entities involved in Iran’s nuclear, missile and conventional arms programs, a senior U.S. official said, putting teeth behind U.N. sanctions on Tehran that Washington argues have resumed despite the opposition of allies and adversaries.

The new sanctions also put European allies, China and Russia on notice that while their inclination may be to ignore the U.S. drive to maintain the U.N. sanctions on Iran, companies based in their nations would feel the bite for violating them. The official argued Iran wants a nuclear weapons capability and the means to deliver it despite the 2015 deal that sought to prevent this by restraining Iran’s atomic program in return for access to the world market.

The Vienna-based agency has said Iran only began significantly breaching the 2015 deal’s limits after the U.S. withdrawal and it is still enriching uranium only up to 4.5%, well below the 20% it had achieved before that agreement, let alone the roughly 90% purity that is considered weapons-grade, suitable for an atomic bomb.

“The entire world understands that these are a part of next U.S. election campaign, and they are ignoring the U.S.’ preposterous claims at the U.N. today. It will only make U.S. more isolated in world affairs,” he said.‘SNAP BACK’ OF U.N. SANCTIONS? On Friday, Britain, France and Germany told the Security Council that U.N. sanctions relief for Iran - agreed under the 2015 nuclear deal - would continue beyond Sunday, despite Washington’s assertion.

It would also apply to conventional circuit boards that can be used in ballistic missile guidance systems, he added.

Sanctions No one in Europe is that stupid to trade with Iran and risk being sanctioned by US. The sanction reliefs are only on paper. Trump made it easy for people to root for Iran for all the wrong reasons. Obama made it easy for all the right reasons.
