U.S. Sanctions Dismantle the Iranian Regime’s Revenue Streams

The United States remains committed to cutting off the Iranian regime's access to the international financial system and the resources it uses to destabilize the region and threaten U.S. interests and partners. Today's U.S. Department of the Treasury sanctions on Türkiye-based Golden Global Bank mark the latest step in Operation Economic Outcast, a whole-of-government effort to sever the networks that allow the regime to launder funds, evade sanctions, and finance its terrorist proxies across the Middle East.

This action sends a clear message to financial institutions worldwide: facilitating Iran's illicit financial activity carries serious consequences. This demonstrates the Trump Administration's commitment to eliminating resources the regime uses to threaten regional stability, support terrorism, and advance its military capabilities.

The United States will continue to use every diplomatic and economic tool at its disposal to isolate the Iranian regime until it abandons its support for terrorism and its destabilizing activities in the region. We urge the international community to join this effort and ensure no institution serves as a financial lifeline for a regime that threatens peace and security.

Today's action is being taken pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13902, which targets the financial sector of Iran's economy and advances Operation Economic Outcast-a campaign to completely isolate the regime from the financial lifelines that sustain its malign behavior. Please see the Department of the Treasury's Press Release.
