New Sanctions Targeting Iran’s Nuclear Program

Tammy Bruce, Department Spokesperson

Today, the United States is sanctioning five entities and one individual based in Iran that support key entities managing and overseeing Iran’s nuclear program, including the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) and the AEOI-subordinate Iran Centrifuge Technology Company (TESA).

Today’s action, which targets persons procuring or manufacturing critical technologies for TESA and AEOI, is taken in support of President Trump’s maximum pressure campaign on Iran.

The United States will continue to hold accountable those who seek to support Iran’s nuclear program, to include its proliferation-sensitive uranium enrichment activities.

The Department of the Treasury’s action was taken pursuant to Executive Order 13382, which targets proliferators of weapons of mass destruction and their supporters.
