Sanctions against Iran in a month
In January 2012, the West will expand the list of sanctions against Iran. This is what Head of the Foreign Relations Office William Hage announced.
"We are preparing to legally increase peaceful pressure on Iran. That will not be done with the purpose of augmenting the conflict, but will be in response to Iran's nuclear policy. Ten days ago, we took a new decision on 180 Iranian individuals and companies, and in late January, we will restrict sanctions in the financial, energetic and transport sectors," Hage said during a joint press conference with Hillary Clinton in Washington.
According to him, the international community must continue to pressure Iran and make that country decline the nuclear program and return to the table of negotiations. Tehran continues to deny all allegations and declares that the nuclear program is for peace and will serve its goal of supplying energy.
