UK Expands Iran Sanctions: Finance, Trade, Aviation, and Ship Powers

With Oman's IMO shipping corridor near completion, British ship-sanctioning powers can legally undercut safe-passage guarantees Tehran is negotiating. Timing matters: legislation now pressures any Iran-Oman deal before it formalizes.
