The United States slapped sanctions Tuesday on 18 Iranian individuals and groups it accused of backing Tehran's ballistic missile program, even after the U.S. recertified Iranian compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal.

The State Department said Iranian activities across the Middle East "undermine regional stability, security, and prosperity."

The State Department sanctioned two groups linked to Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards, saying they were involved in ballistic missile research and development and test flights.

The Treasury Department also sanctioned seven entities and five individuals for their support of Iranian military purchases, plus what it described as an "Iran-based transnational criminal organization" and three people linked to the group.

The sanctions freeze any assets the targeted Iranians might have in the U.S. and block Americans from doing business with them.
