U.S. to Target Iranian Entities Involved in Missile Program or Support for Terrorists
(Wall Street Journal) Jay Solomon - The U.S. National Security Council has drafted a list of around 25 Iranian companies, individuals and military organizations that will be targeted. The administration believes the new sanctions don't violate the nuclear deal because they are solely focused on Iranian entities involved in the missile program or providing support to militant groups designated as terrorist entities by the U.S. "These designations are merely the beginning of a combined administration and congressional push back against Iran's malign activities," said Mark Dubowitz, chief executive of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. "Any foreign companies doing business in those segments of Iran's economy supporting its missile program are on notice."
