US Targets Iran Rail, Industrial Networks, and Intermediaries in UAE and China
The U.S. Treasury Department announced expanded sanctions under Operation Economic Outcast, designating Iran's rail and automotive sectors under Executive Order 13902.

The action also targets heavy machinery, steel export channels, and the Russia-linked A7 shadow banking network.
