U.S. Sanctions Five Iranian Nuclear Scientists
(U.S. State Department) Secretary of State Mike Pompeo - On March 16, in response to the Iranian regime's unacceptable nuclear escalations, the U.S. Department of Commerce imposed restrictions on five Iranian nuclear scientists who were involved in Iran's pre-2004 nuclear weapons program and continue to be employed by the regime. Iran's recent escalation of sensitive nuclear fuel cycle activities underscores the serious challenge the Iranian regime poses to international peace and security. The time is now for the international community to stand together against Iran's nuclear extortion. If the world is concerned with Iran's behavior now, it should consider how Iran would behave with a nuclear weapon.
