Washington launches Iran financial measures
The United States has announced the commencement of its largest financial attack on Iran, aimed at cutting off all economic arteries supporting the Iranian regime, according to a statement by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Penny. This comes as part of efforts to pressure Iran into imposing comprehensive economic isolation, with threats of a strong response if American forces or Gulf countries are targeted. Iran responded by warning passing ships in the Strait of Hormuz that they risk sanctions, fines, or detention if they do not adhere to transit regulations, along with an escalation of penalties for violating ships. Amid rising tensions in the region, the oil market responded with a roughly 1% decline following the announcement.
