The US imposed new sanctions against the companies and individuals in Iran, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates which, according to Washington, transferred billions of dollars and euro to the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), Reuters reported.

The US Treasury said it blacklisted 25 organizations and individuals, including front companies based in three countries, linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Iranian Ministry of Defense.

Banks and other financial institutions, including Ansar Bank, Atlas Exchange, Iranian Atlas Company, are among that organizations.

“We are exposing an extensive sanctions evasion network that was established by the Iranian regime to evade American sanctions. With this action today we are increasing our pressure even further on the Iranian regime,” U.S. special envoy for Iran Brian Hook noted.

The United States resumed sanctions against Iran after the withdrawal from the Iranian nuclear deal. In addition, a number of new sanctions were imposed, including against the IRGC and its Qods Corps, in order to cut off the financing of foreign operations.

The IRGC is the most powerful security organization of Iran, controls large stakes in the Iranian economy and has a huge influence on the country's policy.
