OSINT Defender, relaying a US Treasury announcement, reported that the Office of Foreign Assets Control had sanctioned 17 more tankers tied to Iran's shadow fleet under 13 petroleum and 5 petrochemical designations. The post quotes Treasury as saying the action effectively neutralises the vast majority of Iran's remaining shadow fleet, and that Treasury did not say how many vessels are left. It also says Treasury removed two container ships from its list after they were sold to non-sanctioned operators.

A single OSINT account relaying a US Treasury announcement. The Treasury press release itself was not read, and no Iranian official reaction to this specific action was recovered in the window.
