KIRKUK: U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said on Friday he expected the international community to impose significant additional sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program.
“I think you’re going to see some significant additional sanctions imposed by the international community, assuming that the Iranians don’t change course and agree to do the things they signed up to do at the beginning of October,” Gates said.
Gates was referring to a deal under which Iran would have transferred stocks of low-enriched uranium (LEU) abroad, receiving fuel in return to run a reactor producing medical isotopes.
