U.S Adds on to Iran Sanctions

By JEFFREY SPARSHOTT

WASHINGTON—The U.S. imposed new sanctions on Iran on Thursday as it sought to step up pressure on the country's nuclear program.

The U.S. Treasury Department targeted seven companies and five individuals with ties to Iran's uranium-enrichment program.

"So long as Iran continues to pursue a nuclear program in defiance of multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions, the U.S. will target those involved in Iran's illicit enrichment activities," said the U.S. Treasury Department's undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, David Cohen.

The sanctions freeze assets under U.S. jurisdiction and prohibit any transactions. Foreign banks could be cut off from the U.S. financial system if they facilitate transactions for the sanctioned groups or individuals.

The Nuclear Black Market...in Georgia (the Country, not the State...that would be even scarier) apparently exists

Not sure which aisle though!

Apparently the N. Korean's launched an ICBM carrying a "weather satellite", and this time, as opposed to blowing up in a spectacular failing fashion, actually "worked" (According to the S. Koreans)

The rocket traveled over mainland Japan...so technically, had the N. Korean's wanted, there could have been a third big nuclear boom in Japan (if they have the warheads that is)

but besides that...the N. Korean's have proven they have mastered the technology to build an ICBM...that's not good!
