| Six powers propose new sanctions on Iran
The six global powers offered Iran a package of economic incentives and political rewards in June 2006 if it agreed to freeze uranium enrichment before talks on its nuclear program. But Iran has refused despite two previous sets of U.N. sanctions. The new proposal would freeze the assets of additional individuals and entities involved in Irans nuclear activities that were not identified. It calls on all countries to exercise vigilance in entering into new financial commitments with Iraq, including the granting of export credits, guarantees or insurance. It also calls for vigilance over financial dealings with Iranian-based banks, in particular with Bank Melli and Bank Saderat, and their branches and subsidiaries abroad. Iran insists its enrichment activities are intended only to produce fuel for nuclear reactors, but the U.S., the European Union and others suspect its real aim is to produce atomic bombs.
