US Issues New Iran Sanctions
The US has imposed new sanctions on Iran's financial networks, targeting a key financier for Iran's new leader and 13 other individuals and entities
The US has issued new Iran-related sanctions targeting a key financier for Iran's new leader Mojtaba Khamenei and 13 other individuals and entities, as reported by the Jefferson City News-Tribune, following Tehran's resumed attacks on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. The Treasury Department's action, also covered in a liveblog on ms.now, includes sanctions on Dubai-based Iranian banker Ali Ansari for his role in financially supporting Iran's new supreme leader. This development is the latest escalation in the conflict between the US and Iran, which comes as China-US tensions intensify and amid a broader shift in global geopolitics, including the NATO transformation confirmed earlier this week, with more information available on the economic impact of sanctions.
