The US Treasury imposed new sanctions on firms and individuals supporting Hezbollah and other Iranian proxies, expanding 'Operation Economic Outcast' to cut off Tehran's funding for military activities. This continues the established pressure campaign, with no reported deviation in scope or targets. The move signals sustained US economic warfare against Iran, potentially affecting regional risk dynamics.
