Washington: The United States on Monday vastly expanded the sectors of the Iranian economy it is targeting with secondary sanctions, bringing five new areas under the threat of such actions.

"Treasury has issued determinations against five critical sectors -- digital assets, technology, gold, aviation, and shipping -- that the Iranian regime uses to try to prop up its failing economy," the Treasury Department said in a statement.
