The US regime has announced new sanctions targeting individuals and entities allegedly involved in Iran's oil exports. The measures purportedly aim to curb Tehran's revenue from petroleum trade.

The sanctions list includes foreign companies engaged in purchasing, transporting, and processing Iranian oil, as well as banks cooperating with them. According to the US Treasury Department, these restrictions are intended to cut off funding sources for Iran's nuclear program.

The Iranian government condemned the sanctions as illegal and stated it would continue oil exports despite the restrictions. Tehran claims such measures violate international law and escalate regional tensions.

Analysts warn that the new sanctions could drive up global oil prices, negatively impacting importing economies, particularly in Asia.
