The United States imposed new Iran-related sanctions on Friday, targeting several entities, individuals and LPG tankers, the U.S. Treasury Department's website showed.

Among 12 entities designated are five that are based in the Marshall Islands, four in the UAE, and one in China, according to details posted to the department's website. Six vessels were targeted, including four Panama-flagged tankers.
