Iran Strikes Back at U.S. With 'Reciprocal' Sanctions on 15 Companies

Iran on Sunday sanctioned what it described as 15 American companies, alleging they support terrorism, repression and Israel's occupation of land Palestinians want for a future state. This action is likely in retaliation for sanctions earlier announced by the U.S. A Foreign Ministry statement said the sanctions barred companies from any agreements with Iranian firms and that former and current directors would not be eligible for visas.
