The US Treasury Department has carried out a new round of sanctions targeting Iran's automotive and rail industries, according to a report by CNBC.
The action is part of what the administration has called "Operation Economic Outcast," a sanctions campaign that President Donald Trump described as Iran's "economic D-Day" when Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent unveiled it in August, the report said.
CNBC's report did not specify the full list of entities or individuals newly sanctioned, nor did it detail the expected economic impact on the targeted industries.
The United States has used a series of sanctions campaigns against Iran in recent years aimed at pressuring the country's economy over its nuclear program and regional activities.
