US Imposes New Targeted Sanctions on Iran Amid Ongoing Conflict
The United States has imposed new targeted sanctions related to Iran, including restrictions on an Egyptian bank and revoking US financial access to Banque Misr's UAE branches. Sanctions also target a Hong Kong entity and an individual linked to Iran's Bank Melli. These measures come six months into Washington's ongoing conflict with Iran. Iran has urged other countries not to support the sanctions and condemned them as state terrorism. Efforts to resolve tensions, including reopening the Strait of Hormuz, continue amid the sanctions.
