The US Treasury issued new sanctions on Wednesday against individuals and entities it says help Iran. Targets include Indian and Turkish firms and people, and two individuals accused of supplying air defense systems. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said 'you are either with us or against us.'
Why it matters: The sanctions aim to cut Iran's oil income and pressure companies in third countries to stop trading with it.
