Confirmedon an admission by the acting party plus an independent origin: 1 distinct origin, 1 tied to no party.
The US Treasury announced two actions targeting Iran's rail system, major industrial firms including the carmakers Iran Khodro and SAIPA, and a Russia-linked shadow banking network it said moved Iranian oil revenue, gCaptain reported. The measures made Iran's automotive and rail sectors sanctionable under Executive Order 13902. Treasury said Iran's oil revenue had fallen to zero under the US naval blockade, a claim not independently verified. The National described the step as a shift in pressure from sea to land.
