U.S. drops sanctions on three Iranians, move unrelated to nuclear talks

The U.S. Treasury said on Friday it removed sanctions on three Iranians but said this did not reflect a change in its sanctions policy toward Iran and had nothing to do with talks on restoring U.S. and Iranian compliance with the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.

A Treasury spokesperson named the three as Behzad Ferdows, Mehrzad Ferdows, and Mohammad Reza Dezfulian, adding: "These delistings do not reflect any change in U.S. government sanctions policy towards Iran. They have nothing to do with ongoing (Iran nuclear deal) negotiations in Vienna."
