US Imposes Sanctions on Iranian Financial Network Linked to Babak Zanjani

The United States has announced sanctions against an Iranian financial network led by businessman Babak Zanjani, who is closely connected to the Iranian regime. This network reportedly helps Tehran finance the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and evade international sanctions. The sanctions target four individuals and nine entities associated with Zanjani's operations. Zanjani was previously sentenced to death in Iran on charges of embezzlement. According to a statement from the US State Department, "Iran is the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism," and the sanctions aim to increase pressure on the regime.
