Nov. 21 (UPI) -- The United States has sanctioned dozens of individuals, entities, vessels and aircraft accused of participating in Iran's oil-shipping networks, as the Trump administration continues to squeeze the Islamic nation with its reinstated maximum pressure campaign.
The State Department said Thursday it was adding 17 names of companies people and vessels to its sanctions list, while the Treasury said it was adding 41.
"The United States remains committed to disrupting the illicit funding streams that finance all aspects of Iran's malign activities," State Department spokesman Thomas Pigott said in a statement.
"As long as Iran devotes revenue to funding attacks against the United States and our allies, supporting terrorism around the world and pursuing other destabilizing actions, we will use all the tools at our disposal to hold the regime accountable."
