The U.S. Treasury is expected to broaden the scope of secondary sanctions it can impose on entities and countries that maintain business ties with Iran, according to a Reuters report. The change is described as expanding which non-U.S. parties could face sanctions for dealings connected to Iran.
The reported move fits the Trump administration’s broader effort to increase economic pressure on Tehran. The outlet says a source familiar with the plans describes the expected announcement for Monday, though specific details of the new coverage and thresholds are not provided in the brief summaries available here.
Across the sources provided, the main points are consistent: the Treasury is set to widen secondary sanctions authority, and the goal is to target third parties doing business with Iran. One outlet frames the action as an expected Monday step to expand the sanctions “scope,” while the other source reports the same underlying development without adding materially different context in the excerpts shared.
