(Reuters) Lesley Wroughton - The U.S. on Tuesday imposed fresh sanctions on 25 companies and people in Iran, Turkey and the UAE who raised billions of dollars to fund the operations of the Revolutionary Guards. "We are exposing an extensive sanctions evasion network that was established by the Iranian regime to evade American sanctions," said Brian Hook, the U.S. special envoy for Iran. "With this action today we are increasing our pressure even further on the Iranian regime."
