Title: U.S. Treasury: Sanctions on Over 500 Individuals and Entities Tied to Iran

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen announced that the U.S. administration has targeted over 500 individuals and entities linked to Iran since 2021. The Treasury Department stated that "Iran's actions threaten stability in the region and could have economic repercussions," emphasizing that "Washington will use sanctions and coordinate with allies to disrupt Iran's destabilizing activities." Last week, the U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions on Abu Ubaida, the spokesman for the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, and on leaders of the drone unit associated with the Palestinian movement.
