WASHINGTON: The US Department of the Treasury said it has imposed sanctions against Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif for implementing the reckless agenda of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

With the sanctions, any assets of  Zarif in America, or controlled by US entities, have have been frozen, according to the department.

“Javad Zarif implements the reckless agenda of Iran’s Supreme Leader (Ayatollah Ali Khamenei),” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said.

Zarif tweeted the US had imposed sanctions on him because it considered him as a threat to its agenda.

Tensions between the US and Iran have heightened since the US last year withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal that aimed to curb Iranian nuclear activities.

There are growing concerns that a number of recent incidents in the Gulf could lead to a military conflict in the vital shipping region.

On Wednesday, the US extended waivers which allow Russia, China and European countries to continue civilian nuclear cooperation with Iran.
