The US Treasury has imposed sanctions against companies connected with the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards.

The action extends earlier sanctions against the Guards and its construction company headquarters.

It aims to freeze the foreign assets of four companies connected to Khatam al-Anbiya Construction and its chief officer.

The company's profits help fund Iran's nuclear and missile programmes, the US Treasury said.

The company is the construction arm of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards force, the US says.

hope it works.  will be tricky, because Sepah reportedly controls most businesses in Iran, so targeting them may still impact people who don't agree with or support Sepah. 

here's the Al Jazeera article on the same issue
