The United States has imposed new sanctions on a network accused of helping Iran sell oil secretly. At the center is Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani, who is linked to powerful figures in Iran’s security system. US officials say this network uses ships and companies across different countries to keep oil flowing despite earlier sanctions. The revenue is believed to be worth billions of dollars. Washington says this money mainly benefits Iran’s elite, not ordinary people. The US is also warning banks, companies, and countries that doing business with Iran’s oil trade could lead to secondary sanctions. These steps come as the US prepares for fresh talks with Iran.
