Treasury will place sanctions on a large, unnamed bank on Monday, according to statements from Bessent reported by Reuters, CNBC and the Jerusalem Post. The move marks the latest step in a coordinated effort to pressure Iran’s economic infrastructure.
The sanction follows new measures that target networks supporting Iran’s regional proxies, as detailed by The Times of Israel, and a broader aviation sanctions regime that now extends beyond Tehran, noted by time.com. The Wall Street Journal also reports that an Iranian airline favored by the regime is defying existing sanctions and expanding its operations.
The unnamed bank, Iranian airlines and entities linked to proxy networks will face immediate restrictions. The Treasury is expected to publish the official order on Monday, and observers will watch for follow‑up actions that could further tighten financial controls on Iran.
