JAKARTA - Britain imposed sanctions on one individual and four entities under the Iranian regime. Those sanctioned are said to be part of a network that supports Tehran's activities abroad, including in Ukraine and Israel.
The sanctions include asset freezes against Iranian oil king Hossein Shamkhani, and against four companies operating in the shipping, petrochemical and financial sectors, according to government notices published online.
The UK said the network had facilitated hostile activities by the Iranian government, including efforts to destabilize Britain and other countries.

Some of the companies were charged with acting on behalf or on the direction of Shamkhani, who was accused of assisting Iran's operations abroad. Shamkhani was also sanctioned by the United States last month.
The sanctions freeze all UK-based assets and prohibit British individuals and businesses from transacting with appointed parties.
