Washington imposes new US sanctions targeting Iran

Washington, DC – The US Treasury Department announced new Iran-related sanctions on Thursday targeting more than 12 individuals and entities. This move is part of the Trump administration’s policy to intensify economic and political pressure on Tehran.

In an official notice on its website, the department stated that the new sanctions target individuals and entities described as contributing to activities that threaten regional stability. The sanctions are also linked to Tehran’s nuclear program and related military activities. Washington asserted that these measures aim to limit Iran’s ability to finance activities that the US considers terrorist. The sanctions also aim to reduce the threat Iran poses to US allies in the region.

These new sanctions are part of a series of steps taken by the Trump administration in recent months. These steps have included imposing restrictions on entities and individuals linked to Iran’s financial and energy sectors. Additionally, Iran’s diplomatic and military activities in the Middle East have been closely monitored.
