U.S. threatens sanctions for entities tied to Iran's gold and digital assets

The U.S. says any country or entity that deals with Iran’s gold or digital assets could face sanctions, extending beyond oil to aviation, shipping, and technology.

The New York Times reports the United States has signaled it will pursue sanctions against any country or entity that engages with Iran’s gold and digital assets, alongside exposure in other sectors.

The threatened measures also extend to Iran-linked aviation, shipping, and technology activities, with the stated aim of applying pressure beyond oil.

The report frames the move as part of broader U.S. efforts to deter additional financial and trade links to Iran across multiple industries.
