US Sanctions Multiple Entities Over Iran Weapons Procurement Networks
The US Treasury Department sanctioned 10 to 13 individuals and entities across Iran, China, Hong Kong, Pakistan, and Russia for allegedly aiding Iran's Ministry of Defense in procuring weapons and components. These sanctions, part of the Operation Economic Outcast campaign, aim to disrupt Iran's military supply chain, including ballistic missile and drone programs, and increase costs for those supporting Tehran's defense efforts. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent emphasized ongoing efforts to isolate Iran economically amid uncertain diplomatic relations.
