- Hits Valiollah Seif with terror sanctions.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin (mih-NOO'-shin) says Seif "covertly funneled" money from the Iran's Revolutionary Guards through al-Bilad Islamic Bank in Iraq to help Hezbollah. The Iraqi bank and its chairman is also being punished with sanctions.
The US says it's also imposing so-called secondary sanctions on Seif. That means anyone who does business with him could be cut off from the US financial system.
