The United States imposed new sanctions on Tuesday targeting 14 people and companies that help Iran obtain weapons as Tehran works to rebuild its ballistic missile inventory after US-Israeli attacks, the US Treasury Department said.

The targets, which also include aircraft, are based in Iran, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates and were cited for their involvement in procuring or transporting weapons or components on Iran's behalf, the Treasury said in a statement.

The new sanctions come as Washington and Tehran are at a standoff over whether to begin a second round of talks to reach a deal that would keep the Strait of Hormuz open and bring an end to the US-Israel war on Iran.
