The Trump administration sanctioned 21 entities and 17 individuals involved in procuring goods and technology for Iran, the U.S. Treasury Department announced on Wednesday.

They were named part of multiple networks that assisted Iran’s Ministry of Defense, as well as its military and production efforts, and the illegal purchase of a U.S.-manufactured helicopter.

“The Iranian regime’s support of terrorist proxies and its pursuit of nuclear-weapons threatens the security of the Middle East, the United States and our allies around the world,” said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. “Under President Trump’s leadership, we will deny the regime weapons it would use to further its malign objectives.”
