The U.S. government, in coordination with President Joe Biden, announced a series of new sanctions targeting Iran's missile and drone programs in response to Iran's attack on Israel on April 13. These sanctions, as detailed by White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and the Treasury Department, aim to penalize 16 individuals and two entities involved in the development and deployment of these programs. The sanctions also target suppliers and customers of Khuzestan Steel Company and Bahman Group, major Iranian industries including steel and automobiles. The U.S. expects its allies, including G7 countries, to implement similar measures to increase pressure on Iran. The UK has also joined the U.S. in imposing these sanctions, marking a coordinated international response.
