The United States is set to impose fresh sanctions on Iran after the country launched a significant attack on Israel in retaliation for a suspected Israeli strike on an Iranian diplomatic complex in Syria. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan confirmed the upcoming sanctions.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen announced that the Biden administration will utilize sanctions to disrupt the Iranian regime's destabilizing activities. Yellen expressed concerns over Iran's actions, including the recent attack on Israel and Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, which pose threats to regional stability and could lead to economic repercussions.
