The US Treasury on Friday announced sanctions<\/a> against 10 individuals and companies, including several in China and Hong Kong, for aiding efforts by Iran’s military<\/a> to secure weapons and raw materials used to build Tehran’s Shahed drones.<\/p>\n

The Treasury move, first reported by Reuters, comes days before US President Donald Trump plans to travel to China<\/a> for a meeting with President Xi Jinping and as efforts to end the war with Iran have stalled.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Treasury said it remains ready to take economic action against Iran’s military industrial base so Tehran cannot reconstitute its production capacity and project power outside its borders.<\/p>\n

Treasury said it was also prepared to act against any foreign company supporting illicit Iranian commerce, including airlines, and could impose secondary sanctions on foreign financial institutions that aid Iran’s efforts, including those connected to China’s independent “teapot” oil refineries<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder President Trump\u2019s decisive leadership, we will continue to act to Keep America Safe and target foreign individuals and companies providing Iran\u2019s military with weapons for use against US forces,\u201d Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The US Treasury on Friday announced sanctions against 10 individuals and companies, including several in China and Hong…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":104662,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[262,34,6475,509,69,51],"class_list":{"0":"post-104661","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tehran","8":"tag-china","9":"tag-iran","10":"tag-iran-sanctions","11":"tag-sanctions","12":"tag-tehran","13":"tag-united-states"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116541476185128079","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104661","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=104661"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104661\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/104662"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=104661"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=104661"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=104661"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
