US announces more secondary sanctions against Iran, threatens countries that do not comply that they will 'share in the isolation'
Middle East4 sources4 countries45m ago
On Monday, the Trump administration announced new and expanded secondary sanctions targeting Iran, aimed at blocking all potential sources of revenue for Tehran. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent outlined the measures as unprecedented steps to economically isolate Iran, warning that third countries and entities maintaining business ties with Tehran must cut economic ties or face retaliation and share in the isolation.
The latest actions build upon nearly five decades of American sanctions against Iran, significantly broadening the scope of enforcement to penalize international actors who continue commercial relationships with the Iranian regime as part of an intensified maximum pressure campaign.
