The US has imposed sanctions on several Canadian money-exchange firms accused of facilitating transactions with Iranian entities. The move targets the companies' alleged involvement in evading US sanctions on Iran. The US Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has designated the firms for their suspected role in processing transactions on behalf of Iranian parties. The sanctions freeze the companies' assets in the US and prohibit US individuals and companies from engaging in business with them. The move is the latest development in the US's efforts to enforce sanctions on Iran's nuclear program. The US has also offered rewards of up to $20 million for information leading to the disruption of Iran's nuclear program, as well as possible relocation for those who provide critical information. The sanctions highlight the global reach of US sanctions and their impact on international financial transactions.
