The United States announces additional Iran-related sanctions targeting 16 individuals and 10 entities, according to notices posted on the US Treasury Department website. The US Treasury says the measures are intended to disrupt Tehran’s alleged international financial networks, including so-called shadow banking operations and channels used to fund its military and regional proxy groups.
Multiple outlets report the sanctions are issued by the Trump administration and rely on the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). One report notes OFAC also issues an “Iran-related General License” that authorises the winding down of certain transactions involving Iraq’s International Development Bank.
While the details focus on targeted persons and entities, the reporting aligns on the core timeline and mechanism: the sanctions are newly announced and published as an OFAC notice, and they include a specific licensing provision related to the wind-down of transactions tied to the bank. The sources differ mainly in framing and emphasis, but they describe the same US action and stated rationale.
