US targets China, Iran-based firms in fresh Iran sanctions

  • On Tuesday, the United States announced new penalties targeting a total of twelve people and organizations linked to Iran and China for their role in supplying materials used in Iran’s ballistic missile propellant.
  • These sanctions follow President Trump’s February memorandum directing maximum economic pressure amid ongoing nuclear negotiations with Iran.
  • The sanctions target the Iran-based Saman Tejarat Barman Trading Company and five China-based firms that facilitated shipment of sodium perchlorate and dioctyl sebacate vital for missile production to the IRGC.
  • Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent asserted that the shipments breach international protocols designed to restrict the spread of such technologies and pose a threat to the security of the US and its regional allies.
  • The sanctions reaffirm the US strategy to restrict Iran’s missile development amid stalled talks, signaling continued maximum pressure and efforts to curb Tehran’s military capabilities.
