US President Barack Obama will sign into law a new sanctions bill today against Iran. The bill, passed last week by the House of Representatives and the Senate respectively, contains sanctions targeting Iran's energy and banking sectors. <br/><br/>The new measures came after the UN Security Council adopted a new resolution on the Iranian nuclear issue, prohibiting Iran from investing abroad in nuclear and enrichment operations and imposing new restrictions on Iran's import of conventional arms.
