WASHINGTON – Web Desk: The US Department of Treasury has announced new sanctions against Iran, adding four Iranian nationals and four cryptocurrency exchanges to its sanctions list, according to an official statement.
The sanctions aim to restrict Iran-linked financial activities and target networks suspected of assisting sanctions evasion. The statement warned that foreign financial institutions, companies, and individuals that do business or engage in financial transactions with these designated entities may also face US sanctions, making it more difficult for international financial institutions to maintain relations with these named entities.
Meanwhile, Iran has denied reports of issuing an immediate response to a proposed final plan submitted by the United States, stating that no formal response has been sent yet. Iranian media reported that consultations at various levels are ongoing, and relevant officials are reviewing different aspects of the plan. Iranian officials maintain that based on past experiences, Tehran does not want to rely solely on promises but seeks concrete, tangible benefits that can deliver practical results for the Iranian people and economy. According to analysts, the new US sanctions and ongoing diplomatic negotiations could create new complications in Iran-US relations.
