🇺🇸🇮🇷 U.S. CRACKS DOWN ON IRAN’S “INVISIBLE” OIL FLEET

Apparently, Iran thought painting their tankers in stealth mode would fool the world. The U.S. just hit 35 entities and ships tied to Iran’s secret oil trade with sanctions, freezing their assets and cutting off American business ties.

Why? These “ghost ships” bankroll Tehran’s nuclear weapons, missiles, and not-so-friendly neighborhood proxies, making the region a lot less stable.

Treasury officials say they’re dismantling this “shadow fleet” to cut off Tehran’s cash flow. Pro tip: If you’re moving oil like it’s 007, Uncle Sam probably has you on satellite.
