Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The sanctions are designed to target the regime's illicit revenue and sanctions evasion schemes. This policy maintains economic pressure on Iran and restricts its ability to move funds.

U.S. sanctions have previously been applied to restrict financial dealings with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and target the Iranian regime.
