WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States on Tuesday unveiled new economic sanctions against Iran over its ballistic missile program and for contributing to regional tensions and said it was deeply concerned about its "malign activities across the Middle East."
The announcements came a day after President Donald Trump's administration warned Tehran that it was not following the spirit of its 2015 nuclear agreement with world powers.
The U.S. Department of Treasury said in a statement it was targeting 16 entities and individuals for supporting what is said was "illicit Iranian actors or transnational criminal activity."
