The Trump administration imposed a new round of sanctions on oil brokers, ships and people it said were linked to illicit shipments of Iranian crude, framing the move as a return to a “maximum pressure” strategy to squeeze the country's economy.
Twenty-two people and 13 vessels were targeted in the latest sanctions, the State and Treasury Departments said in statements Monday. The agencies said they were targeting a network linked to the shipment of tens of millions of barrels of crude oil, and that the sanctioned entities are located in Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, India and China.

“Iran continues to rely on a shadowy network of vessels, shippers, and brokers to facilitate its oil sales and fund its destabilising activities,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement.
