The US Treasury Department has imposed new sanctions on individuals and groups linked to Iran, including entities associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
The measures target those involved in recent attacks within the Strait of Hormuz, marking a sharp escalation in financial pressure on Tehran's military apparatus.
Recent Handelsavisen coverage noted that the US had launched military strikes against targets in Iran shortly after a commercial tanker was struck in the waterway.
The sanctions mandate that any US-based involvement with the designated companies be reported to the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
This regulatory step aims to isolate the financial networks supporting the IRGC's operations in the region.
The move follows a period of heightened volatility in the Strait of Hormuz, where commercial shipping has faced direct threats.
