The United States on Monday issued new sanctions against one Iranian entity and three individuals it alleged contributed it Iranian nuclear activities with potential military uses.
An announcement by the US Treasury listed the company as Fuya Pars Prospective Technologists, also known as Ideal Vacuum Store.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio elaborated on the move in a statement.
"Today, the Department of State is sanctioning three Iranian nationals and one Iranian entity with ties to Iran’s Organization of Defensive Innovation and Research, which is known by its Persian acronym, SPND – the direct successor organization to Iran’s pre-2004 nuclear weapons program, also referred to as the Amad Project."
"All individuals sanctioned are involved in activities that materially contribute to, or pose a risk of materially contributing to, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction," he added.
