U.S. Imposes Sanctions on Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas
Over the past week, as part of an overall United States initiative to heighten economic pressure on Iran as the regime works toward a nuclear weapons capability, the U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on individuals and entities supporting Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas.
