The United States has put new punishments on six companies and two people from Iran, the United Arab Emirates, and China. These companies and people are blamed for helping Iran get important parts to make drones and missiles. The US says these parts are used in Iran’s military and are also sent to other countries and groups.

A US government statement said this step is part of a bigger plan to put more pressure on Iran. The goal is to stop an Iranian company, Quds Aviation Industries, from getting high-tech tools for making weapons. This company is already on the US punishment list. Officials say Iran secretly buys these tools through other countries so no one notices.

The US says Iran uses these weapons to attack other places and also sells them to Russia and armed groups. The government warned that Iran has a secret system to move weapons and technology without being caught. The US promised to keep fighting against these secret plans.

In another move, the US has also put travel bans on some Chinese government officials. These bans are for those who have stopped American officials from going to Tibet freely. The US says that while China does not allow US diplomats, reporters, and visitors into Tibet, Chinese officials can travel to the US without any problem.

The US said this step is an answer to China’s long-time rule of blocking foreign access to Tibet. American officials want more openness and freedom for visitors in Tibet. They said they will keep pushing for this in the future.
