U.S. Imposes Sanctions on Iranian Shipping Network
(New York Times) Alan Rappeport - The U.S. on Wednesday imposed sanctions on an elaborate shipping network that Iran uses to sell oil, and unveiled a $15 million reward to anyone with information that disrupts the scheme. The Treasury Department placed sanctions on 26 individuals and "entities" affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards Quds Force, which has shipped $500 million worth of Iranian oil in the last year. The network is run by Rostam Ghasemi, Iran's former minister of petroleum.
