The Romanian prime minister and most of the Cabinet is in Israel for a joint government meeting.

The United States on Monday imposed new sanctions against Iran, especially related to the banking and oil sectors, after a recent report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said there was increased suspicion that the country’s nuclear program has “military dimensions.”
