Yes, Bessent was just bragging about this in Davos. These aren't international sanctions, they're not approved by the UN.
These are unilateral sanctions by the Burger Reich and their vassals used as a form of siege warfare against Iran.

The UN doesn't have any particular claim to the word "international", except insofar as anything they do is international because the UN itself is international. Other organisations, or even loosely affiliated groups of nations, can do international things because the word just means something like "between nations".
