US sanctions Iran firms allegedly propagating WMDs


The United States on Tuesday imposed financial sanctions on two additional Iranian companies suspected of helping to proliferate weapons of mass destruction through their involvement in the country's nuclear program.

The action by the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control targets Sanam Industrial Group and Ya Mahdi Industries Group, which are said to be owned, controlled by, or agents of the Aerospace Industries Organization of Iran, a subsidiary of the Iranian Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics.

The Treasury Department ordered US banks to freeze any bank accounts or other financial assets found in the United States that belong to Sanam and Ya Mahdi. The US government is also prohibiting Americans from doing business with them.

1. Hypocrisy are us........ nt

2. And now tell me -

just what difference will this make? We already have sanctions against Iran. Any US companies are now allowed to send US products to that country. Same goes for exporters. We are not allowed to ship to Iran. Typically, you can ship products to Dubai or some other UAE country and it will get there anyway.

So I'm not sure if this will make any difference....

Complete Hypocrite who lets N. Korea give the US the finger....and does nothing about it. In fact, Bush rewards Kim by starting to talk about 'incentives' like food, goodies etc.
