The United States has announced fresh sanctions targeting Iran’s energy sector, intensifying efforts to curb Tehran’s oil and petrochemical exports. The announcement was made by US Senator Marco Rubio on Wednesday, signaling a reinforcement of the Trump administration’s “maximum pressure” strategy, particularly aimed at blocking Iran’s exports to countries like China.
Rubio emphasized that the sanctions address Iran’s use of oil and petrochemical revenues to fund terrorist networks, destabilizing activities, and regional allies. “We cannot remain silent while Iran continues to finance terrorism and regional instability through its energy exports,” Rubio stated.
The new sanctions target seven entities involved in transporting Iranian oil and petrochemical products. According to the US State Department, five of these entities are based in the United Arab Emirates.
Meanwhile, the fourth round of US-Iran nuclear talks is set to begin in Oman on Saturday. Previous rounds have shown some progress, raising cautious optimism, according to sources.
