US sanctions 10 entities for allegedly supporting Iran's military procurement

The US Treasury sanctioned 10 individuals and companies across China, Pakistan, Turkiye, Iran, and Saudi Arabia for allegedly procuring weapons and components for Iran's military. The sanctions were part of Operation Economic Outcast, a broader Treasury Department campaign targeting Iran's access to global markets. Iran's currency fell to a record low following the announcement.
