BBC News - Q&A: Iran sanctions: "Fresh sanctions have been agreed against Iran at a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels, as international pressure on Iran over its nuclear programme intensifies.
What international sanctions are already in place on Iran?
The UN ratified four rounds of sanctions against Iran between 2006 and 2010 in reaction to its failure to halt uranium enrichment and co-operate with the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA) over its nuclear programme. These sanctions include a ban on the supply of heavy weaponry and nuclear-related technology to Iran, a block on Iranian arms exports, and an asset freeze on key individuals and companies. Resolution 1929, passed in 2010, mandates cargo inspections to detect and stop Iran's acquisition of illicit materials."
