The Trump administration intensified its pressure on Iran by imposing fresh sanctions targeting entities and individuals allegedly tied to Iran's ballistic missile and drone production programs. This action precedes the upcoming nuclear talks set in Geneva.
The sanctions list includes ships from Iran's so-called 'shadow fleet', believed to smuggle oil despite rigorous sanctions, and companies like Qods Aviation Industries. These measures aim to restrict access to U.S.-held financial resources and business interactions with American firms.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent emphasized the persistence of U.S. efforts to curb Iran's military and terrorist support capabilities, while President Trump reiterated the U.S.'s stance against Iran's potential development of nuclear weapons.
