WASHINGTON — The United States has imposed new sanctions on three procurement networks that are supporting Iran’s ballistic missile, nuclear and defense programs, the Treasury Department says in a statement.
It says the networks — based in Iran, Turkey, Oman and Germany — have procured carbon fiber, epoxy resins and other missile-applicable goods.
“Through complex covert procurement networks, Iran seeks to supply rogue actors around the world with weapons systems that fuel conflict and risk countless civilian lives,” says Brian Nelson, under-secretary of the Treasury for terrorism and financial intelligence.
Last month, the Treasury announced punitive measures targeting Iran’s ballistic missile and drone procurement programs as Washington looks to increase pressure on Tehran, whose proxies in Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and the Gaza Strip have attacked US and Israeli targets.
