US enforces sanctions on Iranian individuals and businesses

The US Treasury Department imposed economic penalties on six individuals and three companies who allegedly assisted the Iranian government in obtaining hundreds of millions of US currency or evade existing sanctions.

Those accused include Iranians, citizens of Afghanistan and St Kitts and Nevis and a Dubai-based trading company, reports the Associated Press.

Those that have been blacklisted will have all assets in the US frozen, whilst being barred from doing business with American citizens.
