U.S. Urges Security Council to Impose Arms Embargo on Iran
(Washington Post) Colum Lynch - The U.S. is pressing the UN Security Council to impose a comprehensive arms embargo on Iran, allow foreign states to seize Iranian ships suspected of carrying materials linked to its nuclear program, and curtail Tehran's ability to raise new investment in the country's energy sector, according to UN-based diplomats. The draft resolution has been crafted to target senior officers in Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps and a network of Iranian companies and financial institutions the Guard controls.
