Reuters reported, citing a source familiar with the matter, that the US Treasury Department is expected to expand the scope of secondary sanctions it can impose on entities and countries that trade with the Islamic Republic, a move the Trump administration is planning to increase economic pressure on Tehran. The move is intended to give countries a final warning to cut off trade with the Islamic Republic in order to end a nearly six-month standoff that has disrupted traffic in the Strait of Hormuz and energy exports from the Persian Gulf, according to a source familiar with the plan.

The new sanctions target the Iranian oil fleet, known as the "shadow fleet," and extend beyond it to include marine insurance companies, individuals, entities, and digital asset platforms.

US Treasury Secretary to announce new sanctions against Iran next week
Iranian authorities have begun demanding the lifting of US sanctions in exchange for agreement to unimpeded passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, sources told the Emirati newspaper The National. These conditions could become part of a broader peace agreement, which the US and Iran will likely begin to develop after the conclusion of a temporary, 60-day deal to regulate transit in Hormuz. Sources of the Financial Times newspaper familiar with the negotiation process claim that the US will most likely begin easing sanctions after the conclusion of a temporary agreement on Hormuz. According to them, the United States at a minimum intends to lift the naval blockade of Iranian ports and ease sanctions against the export of Iranian oil. Read more in the Kommersant article.

U.S. REMOVES IRAN-RELATED SANCTIONS -TREASURY WEBSITE
Live: US issues new Iran sanctions targeting oil tankers
US Central Command confirms continued sanctions on Iran, with 16 ships diverted, disrupted, and inspected since their reimposition on July 14.
What is this event about?
On July 7, 2026, the United States revoked a sanctions waiver, “General License X,” which allowed for the sale of Iranian oil (see: https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/5957647-iran-oil-sanctions-waiver-strait-of-hormuz/).
This market will resolve to “Yes” if the United States federal government issues a waiver, license, or equivalent sanctions-relief mechanism lifting US sanctions on the sale of Iranian oil, petrochemical products, or petroleum products by the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise this market will resolve to “No”.
Actions which direct partial or full sanction relief will both qualify. However, qualifying actions must reverse, remove, waive, or suspend US penalties on the sale of Iranian oil, petrochemical products, or petroleum products, in whole or in part.
Qualifying actions need not be permanent; temporary suspensions of sanctions will qualify. Relief issued for either primary or secondary sanctions will qualify. A re-issuance of the initial waiver will qualify. The full removal of any sanction on the sale of Iranian oil, petrochemical products, or petroleum products will also qualify.
Continued sales of Iranian oil allowed during the wind-down period under this revocation order will not qualify. Mere extensions of the wind-down period, without issuance of a new qualifying sanctions-relief action, will not qualify.
Once a qualifying sanctions relief action has been taken, this market will resolve to “Yes,” regardless of any subsequent revocation.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the United States federal government.
