After failed negotiations and the recent announcement of ending the nuclear deal, Trump has begun plans to increase sanctions against Tehran, beginning with the immediate removal of 6 individuals and 3 companies who are supposedly funding the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Force with millions of dollars.
The US Treasury also accused Iran’s central bank of financially supporting the group. US treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin said: “The Iranian regime and its central bank have abused access to entities in the UAE to acquire US dollars to fund the IRGC-QF’s malign activities. They also fund and arm its regional proxy groups, by concealing the purpose for which the US dollars were acquired.”
