The US Treasury Department announced new “counterterrorism” sanctions targeting Iranian individuals and entities, according to a statement released by the department.
The measures are part of Washington’s broader pressure campaign against Iran, which has included sanctions on oil networks, shipping operations, and financial channels linked to Tehran.
The latest sanctions come despite growing speculation that the United States and Iran could be close to reaching an agreement aimed at ending the conflict that began on February 28.
US President Donald Trump has repeatedly stated that negotiations with Tehran would not result in sanctions relief, despite Iranian demands for economic concessions as part of any potential deal.
US officials have recently signaled progress in talks, though key disagreements reportedly remain unresolved.
