New sanctions have been imposed on UAE branches of a major Egyptian bank as part of broader U.S. efforts to tighten financial restrictions on Iran. The move aligns with the Trump administration’s strategy to limit Tehran’s access to global banking networks and disrupt its economic activities.

The development underscores escalating tensions in the Middle East’s financial landscape.
