US Ramps Up Sanctions on Iran Ahead of High-Stakes Nuclear Talks

The United States has imposed new sanctions targeting Iranian entities involved in the trade of petroleum, petrochemicals, and missile materials.

These measures come just days before a scheduled round of nuclear negotiations between the US and Iran in Rome. The sanctions are part of ongoing efforts to pressure Iran over its nuclear and missile programs. The talks are seen as critical, given Iran's rapidly advancing nuclear capabilities.

Both sides are under international scrutiny as they attempt to resolve longstanding tensions.
