The U.S. administration announced that it has added certain ships and companies linked to Iran to its sanctions list, citing the "killing of protesters" as the reason.
The U.S. administration, which has previously signed numerous sanctions decisions against Iran, has made another move regarding the country.
NEW SANCTIONS DECISION
In a written statement from the U.S. Department of State, it was stated that this step was taken to cut off the funds used by the Tehran administration to "suppress demonstrators."
The statement noted that 9 ships located in countries such as India, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), along with 8 associated companies, were transporting hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Iranian oil and petroleum products to foreign markets.
DECISION MADE DUE TO THE KILLING OF PROTESTERS
The statement reported that these ships and companies were added to the sanctions list, indicating that the U.S. administration is increasing pressure on Tehran due to the killing of protesters.
The Treasury Department also stated in its announcement that the new sanctions against Iran were justified by "Tehran's shutting down internet access to conceal its brutal crackdown on peaceful protesters and violations against the Iranian people."
