> The United States has imposed new sanctions on Iran’s aviation, digital assets, gold, technology and shipping sectors, targeting 60 individuals and vessels while announcing a naval blockade of Iranian ports. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called the measures an “economic D-Day”; they also expose Tehran’s trading partners to secondary penalties and add pressure to global markets and energy prices.
