Iran has sanctioned nine US-linked companies in response to American sanctions over the Middle East country\u2019s ballistic missile program. While Iran\u2019s re-elected president Rouhani said the country was ready for dialogue, the US came up with prerequisites to start it.<\/p>\n

Nine more US-linked businesses, organizations and individuals are put in the sanctions list, created in March. The new\u00a0list\u00a0of sanctions is dated May 18, with AP reporting that it was put online on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The sanctions mean that Iran could seize local assets of the listed organizations and deny their employees entry to the country. The first batch of sanctions were announced back in March in response to actions of the Trump administration, which sanctioned more than two dozen Iran-linked people and companies in February in retaliation for a ballistic missile test.<\/p>\n

Tehran\u2019s actions followed US President Donald Trump\u2019s decision on Wednesday to renew the sanctions waiver maintaining the Iranian nuclear deal, but also to impose sanctions against two Iranian defense officials and a company allegedly linked to the missile program.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s re-elected President Hassan Rouhani vowed Saturday to continue reforms and said that the country was open for international dialogue.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur nation’s message in the election was clear: Iran’s nation chose the path of interaction with the world, away from violence and extremism,\u201d\u00a0Rouhani said.<\/p>\n

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson spoke of his vision of Iran\u2019s dialogue\u00a0\u201cwith the rest of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

He made it clear the US would like to see an end to Iran\u2019s missile program, as well as what he described as Iran\u2019s role in supporting\u00a0\u201cdestabilizing forces that exist in this region.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tillerson also called on Tehran to restore\u00a0\u201cthe rights of Iranians to freedom of speech, to freedom of organization, so Iranians can live the life they deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope that if Rouhani wanted to change Iran’s relationship with the rest of the world, those are the things he could do,\u201d\u00a0Tillerson said Saturday while speaking at a joint news conference with his Saudi counterpart in Riyadh.<\/p>\n

In April, Tillerson described Iran as\u00a0\u201cthe world\u2019s leading state sponsor of terrorism\u201d\u00a0in a letter to Congress. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif then\u00a0said\u00a0in response that instead of repeating accusations against Iran, the US should fulfil its obligations under the 2015 nuclear deal.<\/p>\n
