The United States has announced new sanctions targeting ten individuals and companies from Iran and Venezuela, accusing them of supporting Iran's drone trade and ballistic missile program. The Treasury Department stated these measures aim to reinforce reimposed United Nations sanctions on Iran, intensifying pressure on the country over its nuclear activities, which Iran claims are peaceful. Among those sanctioned are a Venezuelan firm and its chairman for allegedly purchasing Iranian drones, several Iranian nationals linked to ballistic missile procurement, and entities associated with a previously sanctioned holding company. The move follows a series of military actions and warnings from President Donald Trump, who has vowed further strikes if Iran attempts to revive its nuclear program. U.S. officials emphasized their commitment to countering the proliferation of weapons and restricting Iran's access to the American financial system.
