The United States imposed new sanctions on five Iranian entities and one individual accused of supporting Iran’s nuclear program.

IRNA - The United States Department of the Treasury issued new sanctions against Iran just two days after President Donald Trump announced plans for discussions with Tehran regarding its nuclear program.

In a statement on Wednesday, the Treasury identified five Iranian entities and one individual as targets for their alleged support of Iran’s nuclear program. Among the designated groups were the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran and its subsidiary, the Iran Centrifuge Technology Company.

The sanctions also included Majid Mosallat, head of Atbin Ista Technical and Engineering Company, who the Treasury accused of aiding the procurement of foreign components for Iran’s nuclear activities.

Shargh Daily is likely the only moderate Iranian news source.

It will be very hard for Trump to convince the Mullahs to make a deal to remove their Nuke weapons capability. It has been reported they have enough refined Uranium to make 6-7 bombs. Not sure whether they are built or not.

Iran knows clearly what Israel has done to Hamas, Hezbollah, and some ISIS or al Qaeda Jihadi Militia's in Syria. They also know what the USA has done to Houthis in Yemen over past 2 months. They are all Iranian Proxy Islamist forces, supplied with weapons, missiles and financial support.

The US has a huge strike force in place in the Middle East Now. We are approaching the end of the time frame that President Trump gave them to make up their mind about giving up Nuke weapons.

If they make a deal then they will not be able to realize their 12er Shia Dream of creating enough blood to lure the 12th Imam out of the well he climbed into in the 9th century. This would completely upend their religion.

Making a deal that does not allow them to have to keep nukes is out of the question for them.They would gladly die first, along with as many of their countrymen as they could take with them.

Yes. I know.

But lately their battles have all Lost, Big Time.

I think they know that Trump does not bluff.

We are prepared to end his nuke weapons and missiles.
