The United States has imposed sanctions against certain companies and individuals from Iran, China, Belarus, and the United Arab Emirates, accused of supporting Iran's military programs.

The U.S. State Department announced sanctions against 11 entities and three individuals from Iran, China, Belarus, and the United Arab Emirates, accused of supporting Iran's military efforts, including ballistic missile and drone programs.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that among the sanctioned entities are Chinese companies that provide satellite imagery used by Iran for attacks against American forces in the Middle East. Rubio mentioned that the sanctions also target entities that assist the Iranian military in obtaining weapons and raw materials.

In the context of negotiations to end the war, Iran is analyzing messages conveyed by the U.S. through Pakistani mediators, but has not made a final decision. Tensions also persist in the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic route for oil transport, and President Trump stated that the ceasefire is still in effect, despite mutual accusations of attacks.

Rubio warned that any attempt by Iran to control maritime traffic in the area would represent an unacceptable problem.
