US Poised to Sanction Iran After UN Arms Embargo Expires

Voice of America

…Jason Brodsky, policy director of United Against Nuclear Iran, a U.S.-based advocacy group, said the U.S. sanctions would rather help expose Iranian policies that prioritize military adventurism over the well-being of its people. "Just a few weeks ago," he said, "Iran's health minister complained that only a small portion of promised funds from the National Development Fund (NDF), which is controlled by Iran's supreme leader, had been received for combating the coronavirus." "The NDF has been used in the past to fund Iran's malign activity throughout the region," Brodsky said.
