Iran is seeking to purchase 950 tonnes of uranium ore from Kazakhstan for the purpose of producing nuclear fuel with Russian assistance. According to the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), 650 tonnes would be delivered to Iran in two shipments over two years, with the final 300 tonnes delivered in the third year and returned to Kazakhstan after enrichment. The nuclear agreement does not set limits on Iran's stockpile of uranium ore but the sale must be approved by all parties to the agreement.  Britain has withheld its approval. 

The U.S. Department of Justice is reviving an investigation of Clearstream Banking SA, a Luxembourg-based subsidiary of Deutsche Boerse AG, and its alleged financial ties to Bank Markazi, Iran's central bank. The investigation is also examining whether Deutsche Boerse AG made false statements to the U.S. government regarding Clearstream's continued involvement with Iran. 

Iran launched a short-range Mersad surface-to-air-missile that flew 35 miles, according to a U.S. official.  This test took place at the Semnan launch center, from where a ballistic missile test occurred last month and from where earlier this month Iran had apparently prepared to launch a satellite using its Safir rocket.

The U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on multiple entities in response to Iran’s ballistic missile program, support for terrorism, and destabilizing activities in the region. The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) identified three ballistic-missile procurement networks: one operating between Iran and China run by Abdollah Asgharazadeh; a Gulf-based network run by Kambiz Rostamian; and an Iran-based network centered around Mabrooka Trading that sought carbon fiber and laboratory equipment for Navid Composite, a subsidiary of U.N.-sanctioned Sanam Industrial Group. OFAC also designated an IRGC support network in Lebanon that is working with Hizbollah.
