The United States has issued fresh Iran-related sanctions as conflict flares. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.
The specific targets and scope of the sanctions are not yet known, but the move underscores Washington's tough stance on Tehran. Tensions between the two countries have escalated in recent weeks, with several military incidents reported.
The US administration said the sanctions were imposed in response to Iran's nuclear program and destabilizing actions in the region. Iran has not yet officially responded.
The sanctions may signal a shift from the US's previous relatively lenient policy towards Iran. International experts believe the impact on Iran's economy could be significant.
