US Sanctions 10 Entities Over Iran Military Supply Chain Under Operation Economic Outcast
The US Treasury Department imposed sanctions on 10 individuals and entities in Iran, Hong Kong, Pakistan, and China accused of aiding Iran's military supply chain. These measures, part of Operation Economic Outcast, aim to disrupt Iran's weapons procurement and weaken its defense capabilities amid ongoing conflict since February. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent emphasized targeting those supporting Iran's military and noted the sanctions' impact on Iran's currency, which recently hit record lows. The campaign seeks to cut off financial and commercial links to pressure Iran.
