Stronger sanctions follow IranTurkey nuke deal

Washington Post : One day after Iran and Turkey announced an agreement to swap enriched uranium, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced that the US, China, Russia, and their allies had agreed to wider, stiffer sanctions against Iran. Among the sanctions is a ban on selling tanks, aircraft, and other heavy weaponry. The sanctions are intended to pressure Iran into halting its program to build nuclear weapons. Yesterday’s deal with Turkey , which was brokered by Brazil, is intended to reduce the amount of nuclear material in Iran.
