The US Treasury has announced a fresh round of sanctions on Iran, with President Donald Trump ordering 22 specific measures against the assets and funds of Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, according to a Telegram news channel. The new sanctions come just minutes after the Treasury's earlier designation of eight individuals and six companies linked to Iran, as reported by The Zioneer at 21:30 Jerusalem. The targeting of a senior regime figure's personal assets marks an escalation in the US pressure campaign. The sanctions are part of a broader effort to isolate Iran economically and militarily, with previous rounds this year targeting Iranian oil exports, Chinese entities facilitating weapons procurement, and Hezbollah fundraising networks. The specific impact on Khamenei's assets remains unclear, and the report has not been independently verified.
