US targets Iran's oil transportation infrastructure with sanctions

The U.S. Treasury imposed sanctions on more than two dozen individuals, companies, and vessels tied to Iran's oil transportation infrastructure. The move is another escalation in sanctions pressure on Iranian energy exports and could disrupt shipping and logistics flows. Market impact is likely limited to energy and tanker-related assets rather than broad markets.
