description: "Iran has allowed selective passage for specific tankers, including two Iraqi supertankers, through the Strait of Hormuz due to bilateral agreements. Meanwhile, the U.S. has expanded its 'Economic Fury' campaign, imposing sanctions on IRGC-linked oil networks and freezing $344 million in cryptocurrency associated with Iran's central bank. This situation is contributing to a rapid decline in global oil inventories, exacerbated by Middle Eastern output cuts and ongoing tensions in Hormuz, leading to increased price volatility in the energy market."

# Iran allows selective tanker passage through Hormuz amid sanctions push

Selective Hormuz access: Iran has permitted specific tankers, including two Iraqi supertankers, to pass through the Strait of Hormuz following bilateral agreements. Sanctions escalation: The U.S. broadened its 'Economic Fury' campaign, sanctioning IRGC-linked oil networks and freezing $344 million in crypto tied to Iran’s central bank. Energy market strain: Global oil inventories are shrinking faster than expected, with Middle Eastern output cuts and Hormuz tensions driving price volatility.
