Summary

The United States has announced a new round of sanctions targeting Iranian individuals and organizations. The sanctions are a response to Iran's crackdown on protesters and target the country's interior minister, a businessman, and a network of oil tankers known as the 'shadow fleet'.

These sanctions are part of a broader U.S. pressure campaign against Iran. The actions come as President Trump has reiterated threats against the country and is reportedly considering military options.
