Summary
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on June 24 that he expected to sanction Zarif within the week.The United States has an agreement that requires it to issue visas expeditiously to all foreign diplomats traveling to New York for U.N. events.Sanctioning Zarif, Iran’s top diplomat, would further complicate any attempts to restart negotiations with Iran on the nuclear deal that President Trump abandoned a year ago and then started a maximum pressure campaign of sanctions that have brought Iran’s economy to the brink of collapse.Zarif is expected to meet with think tanks and journalists while he is in New York, and the six-block restriction means they will have to come to him at the Iran’s U.N. mission.Pompeo said Zarif will use the opportunity to spread falsehoods.
