Iran has imposed sanctions on 15 U.S. companies "supporting terrorism," according to local media reports.

Iranian Foreign Ministry made the move as a response to new U.S. sanctions against Tehran.

Earlier on Friday, the U.S. sanctioned 30 individuals and entities in 10 countries for supplying goods and services in support of Iran's ballistic missile program, reports Sputnik International.

The sanctions are active as of March 21 and will remain in place for two years.
