WASHINGTON - The United States on Friday imposed another round of sanctions on Tehran, including on Iran’s central bank and a development fund, following last week’s attack on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia that Riyadh and Washington have blamed on Iran.
Given previous U.S. efforts to cut off funds to Iran, it was not immediately clear how much more impact the latest sanctions would have. “Iran’s brazen attack against Saudi Arabia is unacceptable,” U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a statement announcing Friday’s action.
