 Yellen says US set to tighten sanctions on Iran soon
==========

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned of further sanctions targeting Iran following its attack on Israel. Yellen expects additional sanctions to be imposed in the coming days and stated that the Treasury will work with US allies to disrupt Iran's activities. The US has been using economic tools to counter Iran's activity, including targeting its drone and missile programs and financing of groups like Hamas. Yellen also outlined US priorities during the spring meetings, including deepening ties with allies and partners and engaging with China on issues like excess industrial capacity. She mentioned the need for decisive and coordinated action on climate change. Yellen also mentioned the US's commitment to supporting Ukraine and constricting Russia's ability to wage war, and the possibility of seizing Russian assets to make them pay for the damage caused. She expects to have further conversations with allies this week. The article does not provide a publication date.
