US Imposes New Sanctions on Networks Supporting Iran's Proxies in Middle East
The US government has imposed new sanctions targeting firms and individuals supporting Iranian proxies like Hezbollah and Kata'ib Hezbollah in the Middle East, as part of its 'Operation Economic Outcast' to economically isolate Iran. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced an upcoming sanction on a large, unnamed bank, delayed due to September 11 memorials. The sanctions aim to curb Iran's funding for military activities amid ongoing regional conflicts, including attacks near the Strait of Hormuz and Yemen's Red Sea ports. President Trump indicated the conflict may continue beyond the November midterm elections.
