On April 18, the United States and Great Britain jointly announced sanctions against Iran in response to its massive shelling of Israel last weekend. About this reported the US Department of the Treasury.
The US sanctions covered 16 individuals and two legal entities – all of them linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and involved in the production of drones that Tehran used during the April 13 attack on Israel.
In addition, the US blacklisted five companies that supply Iran with components for the production of steel, and three subsidiaries of an Iranian car manufacturer that cooperates with the IRGC.
In addition, the US Department of Commerce is introducing additional export control measures designed to limit Iran's access to microelectronics that it uses in weapons production.
The UK sanctions apply to several Iranian military organizations, individuals and entities involved in Iran's UAV and ballistic missile industry.
"We will continue to use our sanctions powers to counter Iran, with further actions to be announced in the coming days and weeks." - said in the statement of the US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
