Menu The United States announces new oil sanctions against Iran. February 7, 2026 by Mkeshav The United States announced on Friday (February 6, 2026) that it will impose additional sanctions to curb Iran?s oil exports, shortly after the two countries concluded a round of negotiations in Oman.

The measures target 15 entities, 2 individuals, and 14 vessels of the ?ghost fleet? linked to the trade of Iranian oil and petroleum products, including ships flying the flags of Turkey, India, and the United Arab Emirates, the State Department said in a statement.

The spokesman for the agency, Tommy Pigott, said that the Islamic regime uses oil revenues to ?finance destabilizing activities around the world and intensify its repression within Iran.?

US President Donald Trump is ?committed to reducing the Iranian regime?s illicit oil and petrochemical exports under the administration?s maximum pressure campaign,? he added.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi met with White House envoys in Oman on Friday to discuss Tehran?s nuclear program. He described the meeting as taking place in a ?positive atmosphere.?

The talks come after Iran?s clerical regime violently suppressed some of the largest protests to have occurred in the country since the 1979 Islamic revolution.

Trump had threatened to use force against Iran and increased the US military presence near the Iranian coast.
