US sanctions on Iran hit three Turkish entities The US has targeted three Turkey-based entitites in a new round of Iran-related sanctions issued on Friday. According to the US Treasury Department, the entities targeted are Golden Global Portfoy Yonetimi Anonim Sirketi, Golden Global Varlik Kiralama Anonim Sirketi, and Golden Global Yatirim Bankasi Anonim Sirketi. The move is the latest in the Trump administration's campaign to economically pressure Tehran six months into Washington's war on Iran, which has pushed energy prices higher worldwide. Diesel prices at home in the US are at an all-time high. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who last month announced an “economic onslaught” against Iran's financial links around the world, has said Washington is seeking to force Tehran back to the negotiating table, Reuters reported.
