"The Iranian regime must be held accountable for its extortion of global energy markets and indiscriminate targeting of civilians with missiles and drones. Under President Trump's leadership, as part of Economic Fury, Treasury will continue to follow the money and target the Iranian regime's recklessness and those who enable it."
"The intensification of the U.S.'s sanctions regime on Iran - which has, for decades, devastated Iran's economy - escalates the potential economic and military costs to Iran despite the ongoing ceasefire."
"As part of ceasefire negotiations, Iran has demanded that the U.S. lift all primary and secondary sanctions on the country, a provision that was included in the Iran nuclear deal that Trump exited during his first term."
The U.S. Treasury Department has expanded its sanctions against Iran, targeting 14 individuals and entities involved in weapon procurement. This move supports Operation Epic Fury and aligns with President Trump's strategy of maximum pressure on Iran. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent emphasized the need to hold the Iranian regime accountable for its actions. Despite ongoing ceasefire negotiations, Iran is demanding the lifting of all sanctions, which have severely impacted its economy and pushed millions into poverty.
