Yellen: Iran's actions not impacted by sanctions to the extent US would like

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Thursday the United States was looking at ways to strengthen its sanctions against Iran, but acknowledged the sanctions had not resulted in the behavioral or policy changes Washington desires from Tehran.

"Much less than we would ideally like," Yellen told lawmakers in a hearing when commenting on whether the sanctions had changed Tehran's actions in line with what the U.S. would like.
