US imposes sanctions on Iranian deputy commander and ships involved in Iranian oil transport.

The US has imposed sanctions on Iran's deputy commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a Houthi militant member, firms registered in Hong Kong and the Marshall Islands, and two ships involved in transporting Iranian oil. This follows escalating tensions between the US, Iran, and Houthi militias, linked to a series of maritime attacks in the Middle East. The sanctions block access to U.S. property and bank accounts and prevent the targeted people and companies from doing business with Americans.
