US expands Iran-related secondary sanctions threat

The United States on Monday expanded its Iran-related secondary sanctions threats to target five major sectors, the Treasury said as Washington seeks to impose an "Economic D-Day" on Tehran.

"Treasury has issued determinations against five critical sectors -- digital assets, technology, gold, aviation, and shipping -- that the Iranian regime uses to try to prop up its failing economy," the department said in a statement as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent outlined the new measures at a press conference.
