WASHINGTON, March 13 (Reuters) – The United States imposed sanctions on Thursday on Iran‘s Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad and some Hong Kong-flagged vessels that are part of a shadow fleet that helps disguise Iranian oil shipments, the Treasury Department said.

President Donald Trump re-imposed a “maximum pressure” policy on Iran in February that includes efforts to drive its oil exports to zero in order to stop Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and funding militant groups.

Paknejad “oversees the export of tens of billions of dollars’ worth of Iranian oil and has allocated billions of dollars’ worth of oil to Iran’s armed forces for export,” Treasury said in a statement.

“The Iranian regime continues to use the proceeds from the nation’s vast oil resources to advance its narrow, alarming self-interests at the expense of the Iranian people,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement.

“Treasury will fight and disrupt any attempts by the regime to fund its destabilizing activities and further its dangerous agenda.”

Iran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.

Treasury also designated owners or operators of vessels that have delivered Iranian oil to China or lifted it from storage there, it said. Those were in multiple jurisdictions, including India and China, it said.

By Michelle Nichols
UNITED NATIONS, March 12 (Reuters) – Britain warned on Wednesday that it would trigger a return of U.N. sanctions on Iran, if needed, to prevent it from getting a nuclear weapon as the Security Council met to discuss Tehran’s expansion of its stock of uranium close to weapons grade.

Iran has denied wanting to develop a nuclear weapon.

However, it is “dramatically” accelerating enrichment of uranium to up to 60% purity, close to the roughly 90% weapons-grade level, the U.N. nuclear watchdog – the International Atomic Energy Agency – has warned.

Western states say there is no need to enrich uranium to such a high level under any civilian program and that no other country has done so without producing nuclear bombs. Iran says its nuclear program is peaceful.

“We are clear that we will take any diplomatic measures to prevent Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon, that includes the use of snapback (of sanctions), if needed,” Britain’s deputy U.N. Ambassador James Kariuki told reporters ahead of the meeting.

The closed-door meeting was called by six of the council’s 15 members – the U.S., France, Greece, Panama, South Korea and Britain.

Iran‘s U.N. mission accused the United States of seeking to weaponize the U.N. Security Council “to escalate economic warfare against Iran,” adding in a post on X: “This dangerous abuse must be rejected to protect the council’s credibility.”

The U.S. mission to the U.N. said in a statement after the council meeting that Iran was “the only country in the world without nuclear weapons producing highly enriched uranium, for which it has no credible peaceful purpose.”

It accused Iran of defying the Security Council and violating IAEA obligations, calling on the council to “be clear and united in addressing and condemning this brazen behavior.”

U.S. President Donald Trump last month restored a “maximum pressure” campaign on Iran in a bid to stop Tehran from building a nuclear weapon. But he also said he was open to a deal and was willing to talk to Iran‘s President Masoud Pezeshkian.

On March 1st, in the space of less than 24 hours, the government of Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian lost two key figures: Mohammad Javad Zarif, the Vice President for Foreign Affairs, who resigned; and Abdolnaser Hemmati, the Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance, who was impeached by the Majlis (Iranian Parliament).

Zarif resigned after meeting Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, Iran’s chief justice, while Hemmati was ousted after serving 192 days in his ministerial role.

The removal of these two key figures is closely tied to a warning from US President Donald Trump regarding discussions on Iran’s missile program and regional activities. Trump has given Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, an ultimatum: either negotiate or face maximum sanctions, potentially leading to war.

The two individuals dismissed from Pezeshkian’s government were initially appointed to discuss negotiating with the United States. However, with Khamenei’s decision to avoid direct talks with the U.S., their roles became irrelevant to both the strategy of confrontation with the Trump administration and any attempts to engage with Washington under Moscow’s protection.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov reportedly called for Zarif’s removal during his recent visit to Iran.

Zarif’s well-known anti-Russian stance and his role as the architect of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal (the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA) are key factors in this request.

If negotiations were to resume with the support of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Zarif would not only be prevented from playing an active and constructive role — especially given his limited connections only to Democratic Party circles in the U.S. — but could also pose a significant obstacle.

During his 192 days in office, Hemmati, meanwhile, was unable to tackle Iran’s crushing economic challenges.

His strategy to resolve the country’s economic woes — such as strengthening the rial against the dollar and euro, curbing inflation, and preventing widespread poverty – hinged on securing an agreement with the U.S. to ease sanctions.
