U.S. Orders Sanctions on Iranian Central Bank 
----------------------------------------------



President Obama issued an executive order Monday outlining new sanctions
against the Central Bank of Iran. Iran dismissed the move as part of a
"psychological war." The sanctions require any U.S. person or
corporation to freeze property or interests that belong to the
government of Iran, its Central Bank or any other Iranian financial
institution.
