The U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on 10 individuals and firms, alleging they support illicit activities tied to Iran, including assistance to the IRGC and Iran-backed armed groups.
On October 12, the U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions against 10 individuals and companies, accusing them of involvement in a network supporting illegal activities related to Iran.
According to a statement from the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the sanctioned targets include five individuals and five businesses operating in the finance and oil shipping sectors. These entities are alleged to have provided support to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Iran-aligned armed groups in the Middle East.
The sanctions are part of Washington's broader campaign to intensify pressure and isolate Iran's financial networks. Measures include freezing assets in the United States and prohibiting transactions with these individuals and firms.
The move comes amid escalating tensions between the United States and Iran over the nuclear program and regional military activities. Washington asserts the sanctions are necessary to curb activities that undermine regional stability.
