Former State Department sanctions lead breaks down U.S. blockade of Iranian ports

The U.S. Navy continues its blockade of vessels using Iranian ports, with the Treasury Department recently adding sanctions targeting oil smuggling vessels. Edward Fishman, former Russia and Europe sanctions lead at the U.S. State Department, joined "The Takeout" to discuss these actions. These measures are part of an ongoing U.S. strategy to exert economic pressure on Iran by disrupting its maritime trade, particularly oil exports. The sanctions aim to further restrict Iran's access to international markets and revenue streams.
