The State Department said the action included new sanctions against three Chinese firms, a Chinese individual and a Turkish company. The statement added that Luo Dingwen had also been involved in supplying sensitive items to Pakistan’s weapons program. It said the sanctions would include restrictions on US government procurement, US government assistance, and exports. "The imposition of these measures underscores that Iran’s missile program remains a significant proliferation concern," the statement said. "The imposition of sanctions against these foreign entities is consistent with our efforts to use all available measures to prevent Iran from advancing its missile capabilities," it added.
