South Korea will unveil sanctions on Iran today for its contentious nuclear programme suspected to be a cover for developing nuclear weapons. A spokesman of the Foreign Ministry said in Seoul the Government is planning to announce a set of sanctions against the Middle Eastern nation later in the day. The United States has been pushing South Korea, its major Asian ally, to join its drive to impose additional sanctions on Iran in addition to U.N. sanctions for its nuclear programme that some believe is a cover for developing nuclear weapons. The European Union, Australia, Canada and Japan have joined the U.S.-led campaign to punish Iran for its uranium enrichment programme, which Tehran says is only for peaceful purposes.
