Iran’s ghost fleet.
Washington: Iran’s ghost fleet has created an atmosphere of terror in the sea. This ghostly fleet of Iran has created panic in the entire sea. After all, is this the ghost fleet of Iran, on which the United States has imposed sanctions? America has now extended the deadline for sanctions imposed on this ghost fleet even further. America has taken this step in response to the recent Iranian missile attack on Israel. The United States on Friday grounded Iran’s ghost fleet, expanding sanctions against its petroleum and petrochemical sectors.
This move by President Joe Biden’s administration has dealt a major blow to Iran’s petroleum and petrochemical industries, which are a key sector of Iran’s economy. “Today’s new designations also include measures taken against Iran’s ‘ghost fleet’ that delivers Iran’s illicit oil to buyers around the world,” US national security adviser Jake Sullivan said in a statement. These enhanced sanctions will help deprive Iran of the financial resources it uses to support its missile programs and support terrorist groups that threaten the United States and its allies.
Israel will take revenge from Iran
Israel has vowed to respond to Iran’s missile attack on it on October 1. At present Israel’s focus is on Lebanon and Gaza. Here the Israeli army is carrying out fierce air strikes. A statement said the US Treasury could now impose sanctions “on anyone determined to operate in the petroleum and petrochemical sectors of the Iranian economy.” Biden has said that Israel should explore options to attack Iran’s oil fields. Gulf states are lobbying Washington to stop Israel from attacking oil sites, three Gulf sources told Reuters, as they worry their own facilities could become vulnerable to Tehran’s proxies if the conflict escalates .
What is the ghost sheep of Iran?
Iran’s ghost fleet illegally trades petroleum and petrochemical products in other countries through the sea. But America has extended the ban imposed on it further. This has dealt a big blow to Iran. The US Treasury Department also said it was designating 16 entities involved in their involvement in the shipment of petroleum and petrochemical products in support of the National Iranian Oil Company and identifying 17 vessels as blocked assets. The State Department also took steps to disrupt the flow of funds to Iran’s weapons programs and support for “terrorist proxies and partners.” It imposed sanctions on six entities involved in Tehran’s petroleum trade and identified six vessels as blocked assets.
