The US Treasury announced the imposition of economic penalties against two "networks" allegedly linked to Iran and helping it evade the American sanctions regime and boost the country's missile programme, APA reports citing Sputnik.
"As the Iranian regime attempts to use complex schemes to hide its efforts to bolster its [Weapons of Mass Destruction] programme, the US government will continue to thwart them at every turn", Treasury Under Secretary Sigal Mandelker said.
