US Treasury sanctions 17 tankers in Iran shadow fleet
Original: Treasury sanctions 17 tankers linked to Iran's 'shadow fleet' in economic pressure campaign
The US Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on 17 oil tankers identified as part of Iran's so-called shadow fleet, a network of vessels used to move Iranian crude oil in violation of international restrictions. The action forms part of a broader economic pressure campaign aimed at cutting off revenue streams to Tehran, targeting the shipping infrastructure that allegedly helps Iran evade oil export sanctions.
Why now: The US is escalating economic pressure on Iran through its oil shipping networks.
