US Sanctions IRGC Oil Network Under 'Economic Fury' Campaign – May 2026
The Trump administration on 11 May 2026 unveiled a broad new round of sanctions targeting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC) global oil network as part of its 'Economic Fury' maximum pressure campaign against Iran. The action is aimed at severing Iranian oil revenues that are alleged to fund IRGC operations and proxy activities worldwide. The designations represent a significant escalation in US economic pressure on Tehran amid ongoing US-Iran nuclear and conflict negotiations.
