This action includes the Atomic Energy Institution of Iran and associated companies. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent emphasized that Iran&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/larry-elder-a-nation-divided-and-a-world-in-turmoil\/\" title=\"Larry Elder: A Nation Divided and a World in Turmoil\">nuclear ambitions pose<\/a> a significant threat to U.S. and global security. Concurrently, President Trump is <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">sending senior envoys<\/a> to negotiate directly with Iran, warning of serious consequences if talks fail to dissuade iran from pursuing nuclear weapons. Iran confirmed it woudl participate in these discussions but insisted they would be mediated. This diplomatic effort comes in a context where previous negotiations to restore the 2015 nuclear deal, from which the U.S. withdrew in 2018, have been unsuccessful.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The U.S Treasury Department on Wednesday issued new sanctions targeting Iran&rsquo;s nuclear program, just days before senior American and Iranian officials are expected to hold talks in the Middle East sultanate of Oman.<\/p>\n<p>Five entities and one person based in Iran are cited in the new sanctions for their support of Iran&rsquo;s nuclear program.<\/p>\n<p>The designated groups include the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran and subordinates Iran Centrifuge Technology Company, Thorium Power Company, Pars Reactors Construction and Development Company and Azarab Industries Co.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The Iranian regime&rsquo;s reckless pursuit of nuclear weapons remains a grave threat to the United States and a menace to regional stability and global security,&rdquo;
