The US expands sanctions on Iranian oil trade, targeting IRGC financial networks. This increases regulatory risk for entities involved in Iranian crude sales, potentially reducing Iran's oil export volumes and tightening global supply. The mechanism is regulatory/sanctions-driven, affecting oil tanker operators, traders, and refiners handling Iranian crude. Impact is global but concentrated on Iran's oil exports and related shipping/logistics.
