The U.S. Treasury Department has sanctioned 17 additional vessels connected to Iran's shadow fleet, aiming to restrict Tehran's oil and gas exports as part of its "Operation Economic Outcast." These sanctions target ships registered in over a dozen jurisdictions that transport millions of barrels of Iranian crude and petrochemicals. The move is intended to choke Iran's economy, which the U.S. says funds its war efforts and regional proxies. Although not expected to drastically impact Iran's economy alone, these sanctions complement existing measures to limit Iran's ability to sustain its regime and disrupt oil shipments through the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The ongoing conflict has also caused volatility in global oil prices and increased gasoline costs in the U.S.
