The department is exploring ways to ease that burden and prioritize more impactful activities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u2022 The Treasury said in the document that the use of targeted financial sanctions has grown dramatically in recent years, with the number of new names added to sanctions lists increasing from 880 in 2017 to over 3,000 in 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u2022 The increase has coincided with increased sanctions pressure on Iran and its proxy groups, \u2060and on Russia over its war in Ukraine.
