WASHINGTON, Aug 31 (Xinhua)-- The United States and
its European allies are assembling a list of sanctions against Iran over its
defiance of a deadline to halt production of nuclear fuel, the New York Times
reported on Thursday.
The proposed sanctions will begin with restrictions on imports of nuclear-related equipment and material.
Eventually, punitive measures might expand to restrict travel by Iran's leaders
and limit the country's access to global financial markets, the newspaper said.
In addition to efforts in the UN Security Council,
the Bush administration is also seeking to persuade European financial
institutions to end new lending to Iran.
Some Swiss banks have already quietly agreed to limit
their lending, U.S. officials said.
The UN Security Council demands that Iran suspend its
nuclear activities by Aug. 31. In its Resolution 1696, the Security Council for
the first time made legally binding demands on Iran and issued a threat of
sanctions. Enditem
