   The U.S. Department of the Treasury has intensified efforts against Iran's petroleum and petrochemical exports by sanctioning over 50 individuals, entities, and vessels that facilitate Iranian oil and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sales and shipments. (home.treasury.gov) These sanctions aim to disrupt Iran's ability to export petroleum and petroleum products through obscure and fraudulent mechanisms. However, despite these measures, Iran's oil exports have remained resilient, with October 2025 exports reaching 2.15 million barrels per day, slightly higher than in September. (fdd.org) This suggests that while sanctions are being implemented, their effectiveness in fully constraining Iran's petroleum exports is still under evaluation.
