Top US sanctions official to travel to Middle East, Europe to discuss 'maximum pressure' on Iran

U.S. Treasury official John Hurley embarks on his first Middle East trip, aiming to cut off Iran's financial lifelines and partner with allies to enforce sanctions. The trip coincides with the Trump administration's maximum pressure campaign against Iran, following the U.S. bombing of Iranian nuclear sites. Hurley's agenda includes discussions on terrorism finance, money laundering, and countering regional threats in Israel, the UAE, and Turkey. The international community reinforced sanctions on Iran in September, and Iran's response to these latest moves remains uncertain. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered.
