- U.S. imposed sanctions on more than a dozen individuals and entities in the Middle East and China for aiding Iran's war effort.
- Three Chinese firms were sanctioned for allegedly providing satellite imagery of the United States.
Why it matters: Iran loses key intelligence and procurement channels for its missile program, while the sanctioned firms face asset freezes and trade bans, strengthening U.S. leverage in curbing Tehran's war capabilities.
