Two days after the nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers went into force, the United States has imposed fresh sanctions on Iranian companies and individuals over links to a ballistic missile test last October.
"Iran's recent missile test, for example, was a violation of it's international obligations and as a result the United States is imposing sanctions on individuals and companies working to advance Iran's ballistic missile programme," said US president Barack Obama.
The new sanctions come at a time when other measures are being lifted, some of them dating back decades. The United States has agreed to release 400 million US dollars of Iranian funds that have been frozen since 1981, plus 1.3 billion US dollars in interest. The funds were part of a trust fund used by Iran to purchase military equipment from the US, but was tied up for decades in litigation at the Iran-US Claims Tribunal.
