New UN Iran steps target Isfahan atomic site chief

The head of a nuclear technology center in the Iranian city of Isfahan is to be blacklisted under a new round of UN sanctions to be voted on this week, a Western diplomat said on Tuesday.

If the draft sanctions resolution is approved on Wednesday as expected, Javad Rahiqi, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran's Isfahan Nuclear Technology Center, would face an international travel ban and all his assets abroad would be frozen. (Reuters)
