Senate approves sanctions legislation aimed at Russian-Iranian missle cooperation
Article Abstract:
The Senate approved the Iran Missile Proliferation Sanctions Act on May 22, 1998. The measure requires the president to issue reports on entities found to be assisting in the transfer of ballistic components or technologies to Iran. However, Sec of State Madeleine Albright and national security advisor Samuel Berger say that the measure's low evidentiary standards for sanctions and impact on diplomatic ties with Russia could prompt a presidential veto.

Russian export controls fail to stop steel for Iranian missile program
Article Abstract:
The Russian Federal Security Service was able to intercept 22 tons of special alloy steel, which is believed to be intended for Iran's ballistic missile programs, at Azerbaijan in Russia. A sample of the special alloy, which was sent to the US for analysis, was confirmed to be the kind used in fuel tanks for liquid-fueled missiles. The incident, however, gave rise to skepticism about Russia's competency to implement its own export laws.
