The United States has removed sanctions on several entities linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), according to a Reuters report on Wednesday afternoon. The report did not specify which entities were delisted or the reason for the move.
The action comes amid a period of high military and political tension between Washington and Tehran. As The Zioneer has reported, the US Treasury imposed additional sanctions on senior IRGC officials at the directive of President Trump on July 30, and the State Department sanctioned 13 individuals and entities for IRGC-linked arms procurement on June 10. The removal of sanctions on several IRGC-linked entities marks a departure from the recent tightening trend, though the scope of the delisting remains unclear. The Reuters report, attributed to a single source, provided no further details.
