WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The United States expanded sanctions against Iran's petroleum and petrochemical sectors on Friday in response to an Iranian missile attack on Israel, the administration of President Joe Biden said.

The US Treasury Department responded to Iran’s attack on Israel by extending its sanctions on the country to the petrochemical and petroleum product sectors. The department also put another 17 ships on its sanctions list, describing the move as aiming at Iran’s “ghost” fleet.

The move seeks to block financial support for Iran's nuclear programme, missile development, and terrorist networks.
