The move is part of a broad sanctions push called Operation Economic Outcast targeting Iran’s oil, shipping, finance and other sectors as Washington presses Tehran amid a six-month conflict, with officials signaling that efforts will continue until Tehran is isolated financially—even as Trump suggests the war may run through the US midterm elections.
