TEHRAN – The U.S. State Department said on Monday that Assistant Secretary of State for International Security and Nonproliferation Christopher Ford will lead a delegation to Seoul and Tokyo to convey the U.S. Iran policy.

The tour scheduled for June 18-20 aims “to convey the Administration’s Iran policy, including with regard to the re-imposition of nuclear-related sanctions on Iran,” according to a State Department statement.

“The United States is working with nations around the world to create a new global effort to counter Iran’s nuclear and proliferation threats, as well as its support for terrorism, militancy, and continued development and testing of ballistic missiles,” it added.
