Tehran -
The US Treasury 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 spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei called the sanctions "a malicious act aimed at undermining the economic development and welfare of the Iranian people".
