New US sanctions on three Iranian-linked entities

The US Treasury Department announced the imposition of new sanctions on three entities linked to Iran, while also issuing a new general license regarding transactions by individuals or companies with Tehran. This move came just days after US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned of new sanctions in the coming days, including against banks. He noted that airlines, the maritime sector, and digital assets could be potential targets for sanctions, as part of Washington’s expansion of sanctions against any countries or companies cooperating with Iran.
