U.S. Lifts Sanctions against Russian Space Firm

The U.S. government lifted sanctions against Russian space company Glavkosmos. The sanctions were imposed in 1998 in accordance with US non-proliferation legislation in response to the company’s collaboration with Iran on missiles. The lifting of the ban was explained as being occasioned by “interests of national security and foreign policy.”
