WASHINGTON—The U.S. Treasury Division introduced contemporary sanctions on Wednesday on over 115 Iran-linked people, entities, and vessels, in an indication the Trump administration is doubling down on its “most strain” marketing campaign after bombing Tehran’s key nuclear websites in June.
The sanctions broadly goal the delivery pursuits of Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani, the son of Ali Shamkhani, who’s himself an adviser to Supreme Chief Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The U.S. Treasury mentioned it was probably the most vital Iran-related sanctions motion since 2018, throughout President Donald Trump’s first administration.
