The Dhaka Times Desk This time, Iran imposed sanctions on 15 companies of the United States. The sanctions were imposed on accusations of human rights abuses and collaboration with Israel.
Citing statements from Iran's foreign ministry, media reported that the companies had clearly violated human rights. They cooperated with Israel against the Palestinians.
But it is not clear whether Iran has commercial ties to the companies targeted, including defense technology giant Raytheon. It is also unclear what kind of damage they may suffer due to Tehran's directives. However, IRNA said in a news, the assets of all those companies will be seized. All contact with them will be strictly prohibited by Emantic.
It should be noted that Iran imposed these sanctions just two days after the United States imposed sanctions on 30 foreign companies and individuals for transferring technology sensitive to Iran's missile program or for violating export control laws to Iran, Syria and North Korea. The United States recently imposed new sanctions on Iran as part of pressure to curb its nuclear program.
