Post by: Raman Preet

Iran announced sanctions on several American and British individuals and entities for their alleged support of Israel in its conflict with the Palestinian group Hamas. The sanctions, revealed by Iran's foreign ministry, are aimed at seven Americans and unspecified British officials and entities.

Among the American individuals targeted are General Bryan P. Fenton, commander of the US special operations command, and Vice Admiral Brad Cooper, a former commander of the US Navy's Fifth Fleet. Additionally, US companies Lockheed Martin and Chevron have been subjected to sanctions.

In the UK, Secretary of State for Defence Grant Shapps and commander of the British army strategic command James Hockenhull are reportedly among those facing sanctions. The UK Royal Navy's presence in the Red Sea has also been targeted, along with British companies Elbit Systems, Parker Meggitt, and Rafael UK.

The sanctions involve various measures, including the blocking of accounts and transactions in Iranian financial systems, freezing of assets within Iran's jurisdiction, and prohibition of visa issuance and entry into Iranian territory for the sanctioned individuals and entities.

The impact of these sanctions on the targeted individuals, companies, and their dealings with Iran remains uncertain.

The conflict in the Gaza Strip escalated following a Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, resulting in civilian casualties on both sides. While Iran supports Hamas, it denies direct involvement in the attack. Israel's retaliatory strikes have caused significant casualties in Gaza, with many civilian casualties, according to reports from the territory's health ministry.
