President Donald Trump has announced a new list of sanctions targeting the rogue Islamic regime in Iran, this time putting in the bull’s-eye eight companies that are involved “in the procurement and transshipment of sensitive machinery for Iran’s defense industry.”

The sanctioned include the Hong Kong-based Unico Shipping, Shun Kai Xing, a bulk carrier owned by Unico Shipping, Zhang Yanbang, shipmaster of the Shun Kai Xing, China-based Futech, Hong Kong-based Athena Shipping, Singapore-based V-Shipping. China-based Shenzhen Xinxin Shipping and
Turkey-based Edis Dis Ticaret Limited Sirketi.
A report from the Washington Examiner said the goal is to undermine Iran’s military even as Trump is considering whether to take military action.
“The U.S. remains resolved to disrupt any effort by Iran to procure the sensitive, dual-use technology, components, and machinery that underpin the regime’s ballistic missile, unmanned aerial vehicle, and asymmetric weapons programs. We have been clear: those who enable these schemes will be held accountable,” explained Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. “Treasury will continue to degrade Iran’s ability to produce and proliferate these deadly weapons, which threaten regional stability and global security.”
Trump announced just a day earlier he will decide whether to join Israel in action against Iran in the next two weeks.
