"US Targets Iran with Sanctions, Criminal Charges, and Airstrikes in Response to Drone and Cyber Programs"

The Biden administration imposed sanctions and unsealed criminal charges against Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, while also carrying out airstrikes against Iran-backed militants. The sanctions targeted officers and officials of the Revolutionary Guards for threatening water utilities and aiding in the production of Iranian drones, while the criminal charges were related to oil sales financing militant groups. These actions are part of a broader effort to disrupt Iran's illicit oil sales used to fund terrorism and to counter its offensive cyberoperations.
