RIA Novosti, Washington - According to a statement from the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the US Treasury Department, the US has expanded its sanctions list against Iran, adding 11 individuals and 13 entities.
The information shows that all individuals on the list are Iranian citizens. According to the statement, the sanctioned entities include companies registered in the United Arab Emirates, Iran, Singapore, and the UK.
On January 13, President Trump called on Iranian protesters to continue demonstrating and occupy government institutions. In addition, he promised to provide "help" to the protesters, implying that assistance "is on the way." On January 14, Iran's UN representative, Amir Saeed Iravani, wrote a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the Chairman of the UN Security Council, stating in the letter that the US President's call for Iranian protesters to occupy state institutions encourages acts of destruction against the Islamic Republic of Iran and threatens Iran's sovereignty.
