US Treasury Warns Foreign Banks of Sanctions for Business with Iran
On October 5, 2026, the US Treasury warned foreign financial institutions that continuing business with Iran's sanctioned banks could lead to immediate sanctions without prior notice.

The warning is part of Washington's broader effort to economically isolate Iran amid ongoing conflict and increased military tensions in the Middle East, which have also affected global energy prices.
