Washington: The United States today announced new sanctions linked to Iran's ballistic missile program, just a day after sanctions targeting its nuclear program were lifted.
Five Iranian nationals and a network of companies based in the United Arab Emirates and China were added to an American blacklist, the US Treasury Department announced in a statement.
The network "obfuscated the end user of sensitive goods for missile proliferation by using front companies in third countries to deceive foreign suppliers," the statement said, adding that the five individuals had "worked to procure ballistic missile components for Iran."
