oil sanctions
Crude export bans
Oil sanctions are restrictions imposed by governments or international bodies that limit or prohibit the purchase, sale, or transport of petroleum from a targeted country.
They serve as economic pressure tools, typically aimed at changing a nation's behavior without military intervention: The oil sanctions devastated the regime's revenue.
Because oil exports fund many governments, these measures can be particularly punishing—though they often harm ordinary citizens alongside political leaders.
