US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has said the US will continue to expose “enablers” of the Iranian government as his department continues imposing sanctions on oil sales.
In a social media statement on Thursday, Bessent said the “Treasury is starving the tyrannical regime in Tehran of the money it uses to wage war in the region, and we will continue exposing those who enable the regime’s oil sales”.
“No enabler of Iranian sanctions evasion is safe from the full force of Treasury’s authorities,” he added.
Earlier on Thursday, the US announced a raft of new sanctions on entities and individuals it said are tied to Iran’s government, part of its ongoing economic pressure campaign on the country, reports AL Jazeera.
