(Worthy News) – The United States says it has imposed sanctions against 20 companies based in Iran and Iraq, along with officials and other individuals there who are accused of supporting terrorist groups.
The U.S. Treasury Department said on March 26 that the targeted “front companies, senior officials, and business associates…provide support to or act for or on behalf of” Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and its branch for elite operations abroad, the Quds Force.
The individuals and entities are also accused of “transferring lethal aid to Iranian-backed terrorist militias in Iraq such as Kata’ib Hizballah (KH) and Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq (AAH),” the Treasury Department said. [ Source: Radio Free Europe (Read More…) ]
