This is the latest step after Treasury Secretary Bessent launched the "Economic Exile Operation" last week. Its goal is to cut off Iran's oil income.

Bessent warned that banks linked to Iran "will find out the hard way that we are serious."

One day before the sanctions were announced, Turkey's state-owned Halkbank reached a settlement with the U.S. The settlement was about breaking Iran sanctions. The case involved about 20 billion dollars in oil money. It had made U.S.-Turkey relations tense.

在制裁宣布前一天土耳其國有Halkbank就違反伊朗制裁案與美方達成和解該案涉及約200億美元石油收入曾讓美土關係緊張
