US slaps sanctions on Iran shipping network over Syria oil

The United States is imposing sanctions on a shipping network it said was run by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, saying it sold millions of barrels of oil to benefit Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

The sanctions on 16 entities, 10 people and 11 vessels are announced just as Iran threatened to cut further its commitments under a nuclear deal unless the United States eases its pressure.
