US Imposes Sweeping New Sanctions on Iran’s Oil and Financial Networks


The Treasury Department announced sweeping new “Economic Fury” sanctions targeting more than 50 companies, individuals and vessels tied to Iran’s financial and oil networks.

•⁠ ⁠Officials said the action targets Iran’s “shadow banking system,” including Amin Exchange and front companies accused of handling hundreds of millions of dollars for sanctioned Iranian banks.

•⁠ ⁠Treasury also blocked 19 vessels involved in Iranian petroleum and petrochemical shipments, saying the operations generated hundreds of millions in revenue for Tehran.

•⁠ ⁠Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the effort aims to dismantle financial networks used to evade sanctions and fund Iran’s regime and terrorist proxies.
