The Biden Administration imposed new sanctions on Iran yesterday, targeting two senior leaders of the IRGC as well as two affiliated companies said to be involved with Iran’s drone programs and the supply of drones and related material to insurgent groups in Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen and Ethiopia, the Associated Press reported yesterday. The new sanctions block any assets that those targeted may have in U.S. jurisdictions, bar Americans from transactions with them and, perhaps more importantly, also subject foreign people and firms that do business with them to potential penalties. The two targeted Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders, Brig. Gen. Saeed Aghajani and Brig. Gen. Abdollah Mehrabi, oversee the Guard’s drone activities. The sanctions appear to be in retaliation for the drone attack on the US Tanf base in Syria last week.
