The United States has imposed the most extensive package of sanctions against Iran

The US Treasury Department has imposed an unprecedented package of sanctions on Iran under the Trump administration. This is reported by RIA Novosti.

The report indicates that the new restrictive measures have affected more than 50 individuals and legal entities with ties to Mohammed Hossein Shamkhani - the son of Ali Shamkhani, an advisor to Iran's supreme leader.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the adopted measures put Washington's interests at the forefront, targeting representatives of the Iranian elite who are enriching themselves while Tehran creates a security threat to the United States.
