The ministry said the new sanctions include two people and six entities, as well as four companies linked to the Iranian oil company.

Since its withdrawal from the nuclear deal with Iran in May 2018, the administration of the President Donald Trump has reinstated U.S. sanctions against Tehran in preparation for new sanctions, particularly those targeting iran's oil sector.

The United States accuses Iran of seeking to acquire a nuclear weapon, sponsor terrorism and destabilize the region.
