US Treasury targets airlines, maritime, digital assets in Iran sanctions push

Treasury Secretary Bessent signals expanded sanctions targeting Iran's airlines, maritime sector, and digital assets, part of ongoing US efforts to strangle Iran's economy. This follows a US naval blockade paralyzing Iran's oil exports and the largest US-Iran exchange of attacks since July, indicating escalation in economic warfare. Bessent also warned all supporters of Iran, including Russia, of consequences, broadening the sanctions' geopolitical scope.
