The US has issued a new round of Iran-related sanctions targeting 10 individuals and 27 entities, including at least two companies it said were linked to Iran's national tanker company, the US Treasury Department said on Friday.

The sanctions, which target Iranian nationals and some entities in the United Arab Emirates and Hong Kong, were announced as US President Donald Trump's administration is working to get a new nuclear deal with Tehran.

Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control added Ace Petrochem FZE, and Moderate General Trading LLC to its Specially Designated Nationals List, freezing any of their US assets.

OFAC said they are both linked to the state-owned National Iranian Tanker Company which is under US sanctions for exporting oil.

Talks between Iran and the US that aim to resolve a decades-long dispute over Tehran's nuclear ambitions have been stuck over disagreements about uranium enrichment.

Iran's mission to the United Nations in New York did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
