The United States has imposed new sanctions targeting Iran's oil smuggling network and its so-called 'shadow fleet.' The U.S. Treasury and State Department sanctioned six entities and identified four vessels involved in the purchase, acquisition, sale, transport, or marketing of petroleum, petroleum products, or petrochemical products from Iran. These measures also extend to seven leaders of the Lebanese party-militia Hezbollah. The sanctions aim to disrupt revenue streams that the Iranian regime uses to support terrorism and oppress its population.

This action is part of the U.S. government's ongoing maximum pressure campaign against Iran. Meanwhile, Venezuela's oil exports have increased, with more shipments directed to China.
