BY CAITLIN M. KENNEY Stars and Stripes WASHINGTON — U.S. officials on Monday announced a series of sanctions against Iran, including its missile programs, in an attempt to force the nation to renegotiate a new deal that would ban it from attaining nuclear weapons. “Our actions today are a warning that should be heard worldwide. No matter who you are, if you violate the U.N. arms embargo on Iran, you risk sanctions,” U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said during a news conference at the State Department. Sanctions also will be imposed against other people and organiza- tions providing Iran financial and logistical support that allows the country to purchase and export weapons, said the senior U.S. offi- cials, including Defense Secretary Mark Esper. The announcement comes days after U.N. sanctions on Iran were put back in place for violating terms of the 2015 nuclear deal. President Donald Trump also signed an executive order Monday to enforce the U.N. arms embargo and hold those who go against the sanc- tions accountable, Pompeo said.

Associated Press ARLINGTON, Texas — One gamble after another failed for coach Mike Mc- Carthy in his home debut with the Dallas Cowboys. A successful onside kick made them all moot. Greg Zuerlein kicked a 46-yard field goal as time expired, and the Cowboys over- came four fumbles and a 20-point deficit in the first quarter to beat the Atlanta Fal- cons 40-39 on Sunday. The Falcons were still up 15 in the fourth quarter before Dak Prescott became the first quarterback in NFL history to pass for more than 400 yards and rush for three touchdowns in the same game, the third TD getting Dallas (1-1) within two. Zuerlein did not use a tee for his slow- rolling onside attempt, a rare tactic. But even more curious was Atlanta’s players surrounding the ball when they could have recovered it. As soon as it crossed the 10- yard mark, C.J. Goodwin pounced — and later emerged from the big pile with the ball and 1:48 on the clock. Rookie receiver CeeDee Lamb’s 24-yard catch got the Cowboys in field goal position, and they ran down the clock before “Greg the Leg” touched off a wild celebration for the players and the socially distanced 21,708 fans who booed Dallas off the field with Atlanta up 29-10 at halftime.
