WANA (May 11) – The United States Treasury Department has announced a new round of sanctions targeting individuals and companies allegedly linked to Iran, continuing Washington’s anti-Iran pressure campaign.

 

According to the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the latest sanctions list includes three individuals and nine companies accused of having ties to Iran.

 

U.S. officials claimed the measures were taken as part of efforts to combat what they described as “terrorism-related activities,” allegations that have repeatedly been rejected by the Islamic Republic of Iran. Iranian officials have consistently described such measures as part of Washington’s maximum pressure policy against Tehran.

 

The move comes as the administration of Donald Trump has imposed numerous sanctions on Iranian individuals and entities in recent years, with the total number of sanctions reportedly surpassing 1,000 cases.

 

Under the latest Treasury Department announcement, the newly sanctioned individuals and companies will face financial restrictions and potential asset freezes under U.S. jurisdiction.
