US hits Iran with further steel, aluminum, copper trade sanctions

摘要

London—The US has broadened the scope of its sanctions on steel, stainless steel, aluminum and copper trade with Iran in a move to stop imports into the country of specialized metals that it says could be used in Iran’s nuclear, ballistic missile and military programs, deemed by the US to pose a grave threat to international peace and security. Most of the products had already been targeted by secondary sanctions against Iran, previously published by the US. The latest list gives more detailed descriptions of some of the products previously included in more general categories.
