In a statement on Monday\u060c the Iranian Foreign Ministry said Richard Goldberg \u2014 a member of the Washington-based FDD and a former aide to Bolton \u2014 would be subject to sanctions.<\/p>\n\n

The ministry underlined in the statement that the sanctions are in accordance with articles 4 and 5 of the Law on Combating Human Rights Violations and US Adventurous and Terrorist Actions in the Region\u060c passed by the Iranian Parliament in 2017.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cTo achieve the goals of the aforementioned law in imposing sanctions on American individuals who are actively involved in economic terrorism against the interests of the government and citizens of the Islamic Republic of Iran\u060c Richard Goldberg\u060c an affiliate to the FDD and former aide to the US national security advisor\u060c John Bolton\u060c will be placed under sanctions set forth in articles 6 to 8 of the said law\u060c\u201d the statement said\u060c Press TV reported.<\/p>\n\n

Tension between Washington and Tehran entered a new phase when in May 2018\u060c Trump unilaterally withdrew his country from a landmark 2015 nuclear deal clinched by the Islamic Republic and six world powers\u060c officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).<\/p>\n\n

Following its withdrawal\u060c Washington targeted the Iranian nation with the \u201ctoughest ever\u201d economic sanctions.<\/p>\n\n

It is currently ramping up efforts to kill the JCPOA completely through pushing the remaining parties to the multilateral agreement to extend a UN arms embargo on Tehran.<\/p>\n\n

Goldberg has recently said that even if Secretary of State Mike Pompeo could persuade Russia to extend the arms embargo on Iran as per the contents of the JCPOA\u060c it would not be worthwhile to maintain the deal\u060c which was achieved under the former US president\u060c Barack Obama\u060c because it would allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons\u060c when the deal\u2019s restrictions are removed.<\/p>\n\n
