US imposes new sanctions on IRGC oil networks
State Department announces sanctions on an IRGC oil network, in an effort to cut off funding for terror proxies and regional aggression.
Assessment
The US targets IRGC oil revenues to choke funding for regional proxies and missile programs. This escalates economic pressure amid stalled nuclear talks. Watch for Iranian retaliation or aggressive smuggling countermeasures, and whether Europe supports this secondary sanctioning approach.
