The US has imposed new Iran-related sanctions on four individuals, entities, and tankers, aiming to curb destabilising activities and increase economic pressure on Tehran.

The United States has imposed a fresh round of Iran-related sanctions, targeting four individuals along with several entities and tankers, the US Treasury Department announced on Wednesday.

According to a notice published on the department’s website, the sanctions form part of Washington’s continued efforts to curb activities linked to Iran that it deems destabilising. The measures include restrictions on financial transactions and property interests within US jurisdiction.

While specific details about the sanctioned individuals and entities were not immediately elaborated upon in the initial notice, such actions typically involve asset freezes and prohibitions on US persons engaging in transactions with those listed.

The move marks the latest step in ongoing US measures aimed at increasing economic pressure on Tehran. The sanctions come amid heightened tensions over Iran’s regional activities and its nuclear programme.

Further details are expected as the Treasury Department releases additional information on the designated parties and the scope of the restrictions.
