WANA (Jul 09) – The U.S. Department of the Treasury has announced new Iran-related sanctions.

 

In a statement issued Wednesday evening, the Treasury Department said it had imposed additional sanctions connected to Iran.

 

“We have imposed further sanctions on entities linked to Iran,” the Treasury Department claimed in its statement.

 

The Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced that the United States has added 22 Iran-related entities to its sanctions list.

 

The targeted companies include entities based in Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and Hong Kong.

 

OFAC claims all the sanctioned entities are linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

 

This move comes in the wake of the criminal attacks by the Israeli and U.S. regimes against Iran.

 

Recently, U.S. President Donald Trump, referring to developments in Syria and admitting his desire to “turn Iran into another Syria,” said: “I lifted the Syria sanctions. If Iran behaves like Syria, I will lift Iran’s sanctions too.”

 

However, even his claim of having lifted “all Syria sanctions” is entirely false. As White House officials acknowledge, Trump’s order covers only a portion of those sanctions.
