The U.S. Department of the Treasury revealed the likely impending arrival of a temporary agreement ensuring the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz for a specified period ranging from 30 to 60 days, emphasizing that transit procedures in the strait will be subject to strict scrutiny. Concurrently, the department noted the continuation of economic pressures on Tehran, announcing a new set of measures aimed at dismantling financial networks and front companies that facilitated sanctions evasion and the transfer of massive funds. The U.S. State Department warned that any entity proven to assist Tehran in circumventing sanctions will face severe legal and economic repercussions.
