1️⃣ Main developments: The US expands the "Iran oil siege"
The Donald Trump administration has just imposed a new series of sanctions:
* Targeting large oil refineries in China
* About 40 shipping companies & tankers
* ⚠️ Related to the "shadow fleet" network transporting Iranian oil
Clear goals:
cutting off Iran's oil revenue

2️⃣ Why did the US attack Asia?
Important fact:

5️⃣ International reaction: US-China tensions increase

This opens up the risk:
* Escalating tensions between the US and China
* Fragmentation of the global energy market
⸻
6️⃣ Market impact: chain effect ⚠️
Short term:
* Oil prices fluctuate strongly
* Transportation risks increase
Medium term:
* Supply chain is interrupted
* Logistics costs increase
Long term:
* Polarized energy market
* "Two parallel oil trading systems" appear

The US doesn't just punish Iran
which is reshaping global oil flows
