Iran has imposed sanctions on 15 US companies for supporting Israel, terrorism and repression in the region.

ABC News reported a statement from the Iranian foreign ministry saying: “These companies are not allowed to sign any agreements with Iranian companies, and former and current directors will not get visas to enter the country.”

The list includes ITT Corp., missile-maker Raytheon Co. and United Technologies Corp. Denver’s Re/Max Holdings Inc., a real estate company and Israeli defence contractor Elbit.

The measure is seen as a response to US sanctions imposed on dozens of Iranian entities in February after Tehran tested a missile.
