The United States expands the list of sanctions against Iran, involving individuals, businesses, and aviation assets.

On April 21 local time, according to documents from the US Treasury Department, the Office of Foreign Assets Control updated the specially designated nationals list, adding multiple Iranian individuals, businesses, and aviation assets, involving sanctions in the areas of counter-terrorism and non-proliferation. Overall, this sanction not only targets entities within Iran, but also covers its transnational commercial networks in the Middle East and surrounding areas, showing the US's continued strengthening of restrictions on Iranian-related funds, logistics, and aviation systems.
