The United States of America imposed new sanctions against what it called a "secret network" linked to the program of manufacturing aircraft in Iran.

The US Treasury said in a press statement, on Wednesday, that the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of its “imposing sanctions on six entities based in Hong Kong and China are working for two Iranian companies included on the sanctions list, and Tehran was able to obtain intervention components In the drone industry. ”

The statement added that these entities operate as interface companies and facilitate the purchase and shipment of major ingredients for the benefit of the Beshazian Cavosh Justar Bushra (PKGB), and NSMI, who work as two main suppliers for drones and Iranian ballistic missiles.

The US Treasury Secretary indicated; Scott Bessent, that Iran is still "trying to find new ways to obtain the main components it needs to enhance its drone weapons program through new interface companies and suppliers from third countries."

He emphasized the commitment of the Treasury to "obstruct and disrupt the plans that enable Iran to send its deadly weapons abroad to its terrorist agents and other destabilizing actors."

The statement pointed out that the new sanctions come in the wake of the decision taken by US President Donald Trump earlier this month to re -work with the policy of "maximum pressure", by imposing more sanctions against Iran.

The United States, and within the framework of this policy, imposed, last Monday, sanctions on more than 30 people and a ship linked to Iran, including the Deputy Minister of Oil and CEO of the National Oil Company; Hamed Boufard, for their involvement in transporting and selling Iranian oil products, whose revenue is estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars in financing the destabilizing Tehran activities in the region
