France, Germany, and UK push for reimposed UN sanctions on Iran over nuclear programme

In USA, Trump administration sanctions dozens of companies and individuals involved in Iran’s missile and military aircraft production. This comes after the recently reimposed United Nation (UN) penalties against Tehran over its nuclear programme. The snapback UN measures freeze Iranian assets abroad, halt arms deals with Tehran and penalize any development of Iran’s ballistic missile programme, among other measures. The Treasury Department named 21 entities and 17 individuals involved in networks that have helped procure technology for advanced surface-to-air missile systems and the illegal purchase of a US-manufactured helicopter. France, Germany and the United Kingdom led the effort to reimpose United Nations sanctions on Iran over its nuclear programme, further isolating Tehran after its atomic sites were repeatedly bombed during a 12-day war with Israel.
