The United States Department of the Treasury announced on Monday a fresh round of sanctions targeting Iranian individuals and entities linked to sensitive technological activities.
The move comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts between Washington and Tehran.
According to the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the sanctions apply to two Iranian nationals: Mohammad Reza Sedighi Saber and Ahmad Haghighat Talab.
In addition, the Iranian technology firm *Fanavaran Ayandeh Negar Pouya Pars* has also been blacklisted.
The sanctioned company, located in the Shamsabad industrial zone near Tehran, operates in the field of sensitive and potentially dual-use technologies.
The US Treasury cited concerns over the firm’s role in advancing Iran’s technological capabilities that could pose a threat to international security.
This development follows the conclusion of the fourth round of nuclear talks between the U.S. and Iran, held on Sunday in Muscat, Oman. The negotiations reportedly lasted three hours, although no substantial breakthroughs were confirmed.
