Iran on Thursday described as ‘malicious’ fresh US sanctions targeting a shipping empire controlled by the son of a top political advisor to the Islamic republic’s supreme leader.

The US treasury department on Wednesday imposed restrictions on more than 115 individuals, companies and ships accused of facilitating the sale of Iranian and Russian oil.

These include a fleet allegedly operated by Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani, son of Ali Shamkhani, a top political advisor to Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei called the sanctions ‘a malicious act aimed at undermining the economic development and welfare of the Iranian people’.

The US treasury department said Hossein Shamkhani operates a fleet of more than 50 tankers and container ships transporting Iranian and Russian oil and petroleum products, generating tens of billions of dollars in profit.

‘The Shamkhani family’s shipping empire highlights how the Iranian regime elites leverage their positions to accrue massive wealth and fund the regime’s dangerous behaviour,’ treasury secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement.

Baqaei said the sanctions serve as ‘clear evidence of the enmity of American decision-makers toward Iranians’, describing them as a ‘a crime against humanity’.

The Wednesday sanction package marked the largest to date since the Trump administration reinstated its ‘maximum pressure’ campaign against Iran, according to Bessent.

Under the campaign, the US exited the landmark 2015 nuclear accord between Iran and world powers in 2018, during Donald Trump’s first term as president, and reimposed harsh sanctions on Tehran.

Baqaei on Thursday accused Washington of pursuing ‘economic terrorism’ through unilateral and coercive measures that he said violated international law and the basic rights of Iranians.

He also pointed to what he described as recent US and Israeli ‘military aggression’ against Iranian territory, saying it was part of a broader campaign to destabilise the country and obstruct its development.

Washington joined Israel in attacking Iran last month, hitting key nuclear sites in the Islamic republic.

Israel launched on June 13 strikes on Iran, targeting military and nuclear sites in Iran as well as residential areas, killing over 1,000 Iranians.

Iran also launched retaliatory strikes on Israel, killing 29 people.

A ceasefire between Iran and Israel has been in effect since June 24.

In an interview with the Financial Times published Thursday, Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said the US ‘should explain why they attacked us in the middle of negotiations’.

Tehran and Washington were engaged in diplomacy to strike a new deal over Iran’s nuclear programme when Israel launched its military campaign last month.

Tehran called the attacks a ‘betrayal’, but has not ruled out returning to talks with the United States.

In his interview, Araghchi said the US must ‘ensure that they are not going to repeat’ the attacks during future talks, and urged the US ‘to compensate Iran for the damage that they have done’.

The Iranian top diplomat said there was still a ‘narrow’ chance for diplomacy with the US over Tehran’s nuclear programme, however noting that public sentiment against resuming negotiations was ‘very high’.​

US accountability for attacks on nuclear sites part of any future talks: Iran

Iran said Monday it would hold the United States accountable for attacks on its nuclear sites in any future negotiations, while ruling out direct talks with Washington.

US accountability for attacks on nuclear sites part of any future talks: Iran

Iran said Monday it would hold the United States accountable for attacks on its nuclear sites in any future negotiations, while ruling out direct talks with Washington.

The United States struck key Iranian nuclear facilities on June 22, briefly joining a war launched by Israel that had derailed talks on Tehran’s atomic programme.

‘In any potential negotiation the issue of holding the United States accountable and demanding compensation for committing military aggression against Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities will be one of the topics on the agenda,’ foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei told a press briefing on Monday.

Asked whether Iran would engage in direct talks with the United States, Baqaei said: ‘No.’

In mid-June, Israel launched an unprecedented attack targeting Iranian nuclear and military sites, but also hitting residential areas over 12 days of war. US forces joined with attacks on nuclear facilities at Fordo, Isfahan and Natanz.

The fighting derailed talks that began in April and had been the highest-level contact between Tehran and Washington since the United States abandoned in 2018 a landmark agreement on Iran’s nuclear activities.

Following the war, Tehran suspended cooperation with the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog and demanded guarantees against military action before resuming any negotiations.

Washington has dismissed Tehran’s call for compensation as ‘ridiculous’.

Baqaei said on Monday that Iran was committed to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, but criticised what he described as the ‘politicised and unprofessional approach’ of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The foreign ministry spokesman said that the IAEA’s deputy chief is expected in Iran ‘in less than 10 days’.

Later on Monday, the head of the Iranian parliament’s national security commission, Ebrahim Azizi, said the visiting delegation from the IAEA ‘will be strictly and exclusively authorised to conduct technical and expert-level discussions with Iranian officials and experts’.

‘Under no circumstances will physical access to Iran’s nuclear facilities be granted, and no inspections by this delegation or any other foreign entity will be permitted at the country’s nuclear sites,’ the lawmaker said, according to Tasnim news agency.

Last month, Iran said future cooperation with the UN agency would take on a ‘new form’.

On July 25, Iranian diplomats met with counterparts from Germany, Britain and France, in the first such meeting since the war with Israel ended.

The three European powers are parties to the 2015 nuclear deal, which unravelled after the US withdrew during Trump’s first term.

In recent weeks, the trio has threatened to trigger sanctions if Tehran failed to agree a deal on uranium enrichment and cooperation with UN inspectors.

Iran has repeatedly called reimposing sanctions ‘illegal’ and insisted on its right to enrich uranium.

Israel and Western nations accuse Iran of pursuing nuclear weapons, a charge Tehran has consistently denied.​
