SUA intensifică presiunea asupra Iranului și anunță sancțiuni pentru a doua cea mai mare bancă din Rusia

The U.S. has imposed sanctions on VTB Bank, Russia's second-largest bank, for allegedly helping Iran evade sanctions. This action builds on previous sanctions from 2022 related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent emphasized ongoing efforts to target entities supporting Iran's activities. The U.S. continues to apply economic pressure on Iran, focusing on various sectors including oil exports and financial networks. President Trump expressed skepticism about the conflict ending before the midterm elections, suggesting it may conclude shortly after.
