The DOJ said it also seized more than 520,000 barrels of Iran's oil aboard the crude tanker Abyss that were covered by US sanctions.
The sanctions, announced in separate statements, represent Washington's latest efforts to punish Tehran, whose proxies in Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Gaza have attacked US and Israeli targets.
The US Treasury Department in a statement on Friday said it imposed sanctions on six people affiliated with Kata’ib Hezbollah.
The documents also showed that the EU wants Arab states to have a strong presence in any sanctions regime.
“Divesting from any company that supports Iran and ensuring that students are able to attend Jewish Day Schools safely is of utmost importance,” Florida Governor DeSantis said.
The sanctions impose a British travel ban on those named, block any of their British assets and prevent UK entities from doing business with them.
South Korean banks are holding onto $7 billion Iran says it is owed for the sale of oil products, according to the Mehr News Agency.
