What Happened

The United States announced Wednesday new sanctions targeting Iran's oil sector. This action follows Tehran's continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route. The sanctions are part of broader US response to Middle East tensions. Iran has maintained its blockade amid ongoing regional conflict. The move aims to increase economic pressure on Tehran's energy exports and revenue.
