WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 (UPI) -- The U.S. Treasury Department said Wednesday it has targeted Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps for new economic sanctions.
Stuart Levey, U.S. Treasury undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, said one individual and four companies affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards have been added to a blacklist established by a White House order freezing the assets of those seen connected with Tehran's alleged efforts to build a nuclear weapon.
