The US Senate is planning to impose more sanctions on Iran over its ballistic missile program. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is set to debate the issue in a session later on Thursday. Former Secretary of State John Kerry has warned the committee against the move urging the panel to use diplomacy instead. US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said that his department is planning to slap more sanctions on Iran. Mnuchin added that the department is also reviewing the licenses needed for Boeing and Airbus to sell aircraft to Iran. The administration of US President Donald Trump has taken a hostile stance against Iran’s missile and nuclear programs since coming to power in January. Tehran has repeatedly said that its missile launches are in line with the constructive spirit of the nuclear deal between Tehran and the P5+1 group of countries.
