Australia expands sanctions against Iran
Australia has expanded sanctions against Iran amid growing
concerns over the country's suspected nuclear weapons program,
Trend news agency reported referring to AP.
Foreign Minister Bob Carr said in a statement Thursday that the new
sanctions affect the financial, trade, energy and transport
sectors.
"These sanctions further increase pressure on Iran to comply with
its nuclear non-proliferation obligations and with U.N. Security
Council resolutions and to engage in serious negotiations on its
nuclear program," Carr said.
He said the new measures are broadly aligned with those introduced
by the European Union and other countries.
