![]() The U.S. had previously blacklisted IRISL and AIO under sanctions targeting alleged supporters of what the United States describes as Iran's nuclear weapons development program. Tehran says its nuclear work is aimed at producing electricity. The Treasury Department said 20 of the firms tied to IRISL are located in Hong Kong with another four in the Isle of Man, a self-governed British territory. The two AIO affiliates are Tehran-based companies. The latest actions will cut off the designated firms from the U.S. financial and commercial systems. The move will also seek to freeze assets they may have under U.S. jurisdiction. Similar moves in the past have effectively cut off international financing to sanctioned entities. |
