Iran Says New U.S. Sanctions Violate Nuclear Deal
(New York Times) Rick Gladstone - Iran said on Tuesday that it had lodged a complaint over new American sanctions with the commission that polices possible violations of the Iranian nuclear agreement. Iran and the U.S. have often accused each other of violating the "spirit" of the agreement, but filing a complaint indicated that Iran had gone a step further. The administration announced sanctions on July 18 related to Iran's development and testing of missiles, along with its support for Syria's government and software theft. It further penalized Iran with more sanctions on Friday after Iran launched a satellite. New sanctions against Iran also are part of legislation passed by Congress last week.
