UK Announces New Iran Sanctions Regime in Response to 15 Kidnapping, Assassination Plots | Algemeiner.com
UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly on Thursday announced plans for sweeping new powers to sanction the Iranian government in response to what he said were 15 credible Iranian plots to kill or kidnap British and UK-based individuals.
The new sanctions regime will expand the criteria for sanctioning Iranian individuals and entities to include Iran’s “malign influence in the Middle East and beyond,” its proliferation of weapons, its undermining of democracy and Iran’s threats to the UK and partner nations, according to the announcement. The UK’s current sanctions regime against Iran is focused largely on its violations of human rights.
