U.S. Slaps New Iran Sanctions on Chinese, UAE Firms Even as Peace Talks Advance, Signaling War May Drag On - Tekedia

The U.S. sanctioned 11 entities and three people in China, the UAE, Belarus, and Iran for allegedly aiding Iran’s weapons procurement and military support networks.

Washington said the targets helped sustain Iran’s missile, drone, and satellite-related programs.

The move came as U.S. and Iranian officials continued exchanging ceasefire and nuclear proposals through Pakistani mediators.

The sanctions underscore persistent mistrust and suggest the U.S. is keeping economic pressure on Iran while diplomacy remains fragile.
