The United States on Friday imposed new ballistic missile sanctions on Iran, a day after the Islamic Republic launched a rocket towards space, Fox News reported.
Though the flight ultimately wasn't successful, officials said, Iran's rocket is thought to be a step toward developing an intercontinental ballistic missile that could one day carry a nuclear weapon.
The sanctions announced on Friday target six Iranian subsidiaries of the Shahid Hemmat Industrial Group. The Treasury Department said that group is "central" to Iran’s ballistic missiles program.
The sanctions come as the Trump administration continues debating its Iran policy and whether to scrap the 2015 nuclear deal.
