Trump's 'Shadow Fleet' Sanctions

The U.S. Treasury Department targeted two sons of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega, accusing them of helping the government generate money to maintain political control.

Simultaneously, officials are tracking Russian tankers like the 'Universal' and 'Deyna' as they attempt to deliver oil to Cuba and other sanctioned nations.

The administration has warned that any vessel providing material support to Iran or Russia will be intercepted and boarded by the U.S. Navy.

These actions are part of a broader strategy to use economic leverage to force diplomatic concessions in the ongoing Middle East conflict.
