USA imposes new sanctions against Iran

Despite ongoing negotiations regarding Iran's controversial nuclear program, the US government has imposed further sanctions on Tehran. The sanctions apply to more than 30 individuals and companies that the US government accuses of money laundering amounting to billions of dollars.

Tehran is using the now-sanctioned network to circumvent sanctions, conceal its oil revenues, and use them to finance its nuclear and missile programs and support regional militias, the US Treasury Department said. It is a system of "shadow banks" that uses shell companies in Hong Kong or the United Arab Emirates.

Trump threatens military strikes

Due to the new sanctions, any assets of the affected individuals and companies in the United States will be frozen. Furthermore, US citizens are no longer allowed to do business with them. The sanctions also make it significantly more difficult for those affected to conduct international business – especially when transactions are denominated in US dollars.

The United States and Iran are currently negotiating the future of the Islamic Republic's nuclear program. US President Donald Trump wants to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. The leadership in Tehran denies even pursuing this goal and insists that nuclear energy should be used for civilian purposes. Oman is mediating the negotiations.

US President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened Iran with military strikes if the talks fail.
