Iran Responds to Possible US Sanctions Ordering More Missiles

“As the U.S.is clearly still pursuing its hostile policies and illegal meddling… the armed forces need to quickly and significantly increase their missile capability”. It was made in accordance with the President Hassan Rouhani’s order to expedite efforts for boosting the country’s missile power, which was released yesterday.

He reminded them all they needed to do was go home and win two games. “I grew up a really big historian of the game”, Bryant said. Bryant finished with a team-high 20 points in the Lakers 108-98 loss and said that he was moved by the cheers from the crowd.

On Wednesday, The Wall Street Journal reported that Washington was preparing new financial sanctions against people and companies allegedly involved in the Iranian ballistic-missile program.

So far this season, Marchand has been the Bruins leading scorer with 26 points (15 goals and 11 assists in 34 games). Needless to say, Montreal fans have to be pretty happy with how the New Year’s Day event started for their team.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have so many missiles they don’t know where to hide them, a senior commander said at Friday prayers, after the United States threatened to impose fresh sanctions.

Quoting unnamed US officials, it said that financial sanctions being developed by the US Treasury Department remain on the table, after the decision to delay them.

I fear that pressure from our “partners”-or threats from the Iranian government that it will walk away from the deal or threaten the U.S.in other ways-have caused the administration to rethink imposing sanctions for Iran’s violations of the testing ban”.

The actions angered the United States and a United Nations panel found earlier this month that the tests breached previous resolutions aimed at stopping the Islamic republic from developing missiles capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.

Any such sanctions would be far narrower than the broad measures scheduled to be lifted under the nuclear deal.

The news came amid reports of initial pushback from Iranian leaders.

He said the Obama administration and a report provided to the U.N. Security Council both confirmed Iran’s October 10 ballistic missile test violated UNSC Resolution 1929.

Tehran has always denied seeking an atomic weapon and thus its missiles would not be created to, nor ever carry, a bomb.

The nuclear deal was heralded by moderates such as Rouhani, who staked his reputation on the negotiations, but hardliners in Tehran said it damaged national interests.

Republican lawmakers in the US Congress poured scorn on the agreement and tried to stop it. Several Republicans candidates for the presidency have pledged to rip it up if they are elected next November.
