The U.S. Treasury is carrying out a new and extensive round of sanctions against Iran within the framework of “economic expulsion operations” against this country. This time, the sanctions go beyond oil and the financial sector and specifically target Iran’s auto manufacturing, railways, production, and steel industries.

In a statement released in this regard, the U.S. Treasury said that as Iran’s oil revenues decline, these industries have become more important sources of income and logistical capacity for Iran.

Accordingly, the United States has also targeted foreign companies and intermediaries that, according to the U.S. Treasury, play a role in supplying parts, raw materials, or in giving Iranian companies access to international markets.
