On September 29, 2026, the United States announced new sanctions against ten arms suppliers to Iran. These measures were taken to complicate Tehran's access to weapons and components for their production.
List of Suppliers Sanctioned
The list of individuals and companies subjected to sanctions includes representatives from various countries, specifically:
- Iran
- China
- Hong Kong
- Pakistan
- Russia
