Reuters: US Treasury's Scott Bessent to announce more sanctions on Iran
The United States (US) Treasury is expected to broaden the scope of secondary sanctions it can impose on entities and countries that maintain business ties with Iran, reports Reuters.
The US administration aims to limit Tehran’s business ties with this measure and force the Middle East country to keep the nearly six-month conflict that maintains traffic through the Strait of Hormuz restrained.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is expected to announce more details of the Iran sanctions in a press conference on Monday at 17:00 GMT.
