Obama Signs Tough, New Iran Sanctions Legislation
excerpts:
The law gives state and local governments legal authorities to avoid lawsuits for divesting from companies invested in Iran’s energy sector. It also bans persons complicit in human rights violations from receiving a U.S. visa, and bars companies supplying Iran’s government with communications technology used to restrict freedom of speech from receiving U.S. government contracts.
It also targets Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corp, with a provision prohibiting U.S. banks from doing business with foreign banks providing services to the Revolutionary Guard.
