1st Ld: U.S. imposes sanctions on Iranian entities, individuals after missile test

Xinhua, February 4, 2017 Adjust font size:

The United States on Friday announced sanctions on multiple entities and individuals involved in Iran's ballistic missile program and in providing support to the Revolutionary Gaurd military force in Iran.

The move came days after Iran launched a ballistic missile test, which drew a stern warning from Washington.

The action reflects the United States' commitment to enforcing sanctions on Iran with respect to its ballistic missile program and "destabilizing" activities in the region, and is fully consistent with the United States' commitments under the nuclear deal with Iran, the U.S. Treasury Department said in a statement.
