US imposes sanctions on 8 oil tankers, 10 entities over Iran links

The US Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on eight oil tankers and ten entities over activities connected to Iran.

The move comes as part of punitive measures by the United States against Iran, citing Tehran's threats to international navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.

Former US President Donald Trump had warned that Iran would face a harsh lesson and suffer a crushing defeat, stressing that the United States would strike Iran forcefully if the threats continued.
