The Trump administration on Thursday targeted Iranian oil with a new slate of sanctions a move that increases pressure on the Islamic Republic amid talks between U.S. and Iranian officials to make a deal to prevent nuclear proliferation, Fox News Digital has learned.The Treasury Departments Office of Foreign Assets Control increased pressure on Irans export of oil Thursday, designating the "teapot" refinery Hebei Xinhai Chemical Group Co., Ltd., and three port terminal operators in Shandong province, China, for their role in purchasing or facilitating the delivery of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Iranian oil.VANCE PREVIEWS US-IRAN NUCLEAR TALKS, SAYS TRUMP 'OPEN' TO SITTING DOWN WITH RUSSIANS, CHINESE IN FUTUREThe "teapot" refineries purchase the majority of Iranian crude oil exports, according to the Treasury Department.The Treasury Department on Thursday is also imposing sanctions on several companies, vessels and captains they say are responsible for facilitating Iranian oil shipments as part of Irans so-called "shadow fleet." The companies and vessels are all China-based."As part of President Trumps broad and aggressive maximum pressure campaign, Treasury today is targeting another teapot refinery that imported Iranian oil," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said. "The United States remains resolved to intensify pressure on all elements of Irans oil supply chain to prevent the regime from generating revenue to further its destabilizing agenda."The sanctions come following President Donald Trumps executive order, which targets Irans petroleum and petrochemical sectors as well as another executive order targeting those that provide support to the National Iranian Oil Company.Thursdays sanctions are the latest round targeting Iranian oil sales since the president, in early February, issued a national security memorandum that instituted a campaign of "maximum economic pressure on Iran."As for Irans "shadow fleet," Tehran relies on obscure ship management companies to manage its fleet of tankers that "mask" Irans petroleum shipments to China using ship-to-ship transfers with sanctioned vessels.The Treasury Department on Thursday took action to increase pressure on that "shadow fleet" of actors by designating ships as "blocked property."Any violation of U.S. sanctions may result in the imposition of civil or criminal penalties on U.S. or foreign persons, the Treasury Department said.The imposition of sanctions comes as the United States and Iran prepare for a fourth round of nuclear talks. U.S. and Iranian officials are set for the next round of talks to take place in Oman in the coming days.TRUMP TEASES 'VERY, VERY BIG ANNOUNCEMENT' AHEAD OF MIDDLE EAST TRIP, CARNEY SAYS HE'S 'ON EDGE OF MY SEAT'Trump is scheduled to travel to the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.Vice President JD Vance recently previewed the next round of talks, saying Wednesday the U.S. was negotiating toward a "complete cessation" of Tehran's nuclear program.The Trump administration has said the flawed 2015 Obama-era Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear feal, did not prevent Iran from building an atomic bomb, with Vance adding that the agreement had "incredibly weak" enforcement regarding inspections.Vance said he didnt believe it "actually served the function of preventing the Iranians from getting on the pathway to nuclear weapons." Vance also said the Trump administration believes that there were some elements of the Iranian nuclear program that were actually "preserved" under the JCPOA."Yes, there weren't nuclear weapons. Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon," Vance said, arguing the deal "allowed Iran to sort of stay on this glide path toward a nuclear weapon if they flip the switch and press go.""We think that there is a deal here that would reintegrate Iran into the global economy," Vance said ahead of the talks. "That would be really good for the Iranian people, but would result in the complete cessation of any chance that they can get a nuclear weapon. And that's what we're negotiating toward. And as the president has said, that's Option A."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPIf Option A is "very good for the Iranian people," Vance said, then Option B "is very bad.""It's very bad for everybody," Vance said. "And it's not what we want, but it's better than Option C, which is Irangetting a nuclear weapon.That is what is completely off the table for the American administration. No ifs, ands or buts."As for Trump, he said during a recent interview on NBCs "Meet the Press" that he would only accept "total dismantlement" of Iran's nuclear program.

White smoke was witnessed emerging from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel on Thursday, in a direct signal that a new pope has already been elected.The name of the pope has yet to be announced by the papal conclave, who met for the first time on Wednesday to deliberate on who would take up the seat as leader of the Catholic Church.THE COLLEGE OF CARDINALS MEET TO ELECT THE NEXT POPE. WHO WILL IT BE?Only one vote was intended to be held on the first day of the conclaves gathering, while as many as four votes could be held in the following days, with two ballots collected in the morning followed by up to two in the afternoon.The Thursday announcement means the holy body concluded their voting on the second day; both Pope Francis and Pope Benedict were elected on the second day of the Conclave.The last time a conclave agreed on a pope on the first day, just hours after convening, was in 1503 with the election of Pope Julius II, according to the Associated Press.PAPAL PULSE: EVERYDAY CATHOLICS REVEAL THEIR HOPES FOR THE NEXT POPEIn recent years, the conclave has still been considered relatively quick in their decision as they reached a conclusion on the papacy in just a matter of days.Pope Francis was elected in 2013 on the fifth ballot, while Pope Benedict XVI won in 2005 on the fourth ballot, and Pope Pius XII, elected in 1939 won on the third ballot.A pope is decided after a man receives a two-thirds majority by the voting body, which comprises eligible voters in the College of Cardinals who are under the age of 80 at the time of the pope's passing.Of the 252 members of the body, 133 of the cardinals voted.Once the individual, who is traditionally selected from the College of Cardinals, is chosen as the next pope, he must accept the role with the Dean of the College.He will then be asked by what name he would like to be called, and the conclave then concludes.

Former President Joe Biden said he wasn't surprised that former Vice President Kamala Harris lost to President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, blaming the loss on sexism and racism.Co-host Sara Haines asked the president if he was surprised Harris lost to Trump in November, noting optimism among Democrats after Biden decided to exit the race."I wasnt surprised, not because I didnt think the vice president was the most qualified person to be president. She is. Shes qualified to be president of the United States of America. I was surprised, I was surprised because they went the route of, the sexist route, the whole route. I mean, this is a woman, shes this, shes that. I mean, it really, Ive never seen quite as successful and a consistent campaign undercutting the notion that a woman couldnt lead the country, and a woman of mixed race," Biden responded.JEN PSAKI, THE EX-BIDEN FLACK WHO DEFENDED HIS MENTAL FITNESS, LAUNCHES EXPANDED ROLE AT MSNBC"Anyway, make a long story short, all kidding aside, think about it. Liberal democracies lost last time out, all across America. I think we underestimate the phenomenal negative impact that COVID had, and the pandemic had on people, on attitudes, on optimism, on a whole range of things, so I was very disappointed and but I wasnt surprised. The only thing that surprised me was the excess to which theyve gone in some of the attacks theyve made," Biden continued.After Biden exited the race on July 21, roughly a month after a disastrous debate performance against Trump, he endorsed Harris to take his spot on the ticket.Biden was asked if he had spoken to Harris lately about her next steps. The former president said Harris has sought his opinion on the next step, but would not reveal what it is.BIDEN BLASTS TRUMP AS FOOLISH APPEASER OF RUSSIA, SAYS FIRST 100 DAYS WERE NO TRIUMPHCLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREBiden's sit-down with "The View" came after the president sat for an interview with the BBC, during which he spoke about Trump's foreign policy as well as his decision to leave the race when he did.The former president told the BBC that it wouldn't have "mattered" if he got out of the race sooner."We left at a time when we had a good candidate," Biden said, speaking of Harris."It was a hard decision," Biden told the outlet of his decision to exit the race. "I think it was the right decision. It was just a difficult decision."Biden argued his term was so successful, it was difficult to hand over leadership to a new generation immediately, as he'd initially intended."What we had set out to do, no one thought we could do," he said. "I'd become so successful in our agenda, it was hard to say, Im going to stop now.' I meant what I said when I started, that I'm preparing to hand this to the next generation, the transition of government. Things moved so quickly that it made it difficult to walk away."

Female athletes Stephanie Turner and Payton McNabb testified to members of Congress at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Subcommittee's "Unfair Play: Keeping Men Out of Womens Sports" hearing on Wednesday.At one point during the hearing, the two women were approached by Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas."'You're both very courageous. You're very courageous being here, and I want to say thank you for all of this,'" Crockett said to the two women, Turner told Fox News Digital. "And I said Payton and I both took time out of our day to be there, and I find it very disrespectful that you would co-opt this hearing that is about me and Payton and make it about your own politics."CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMCrockett had just used her turn during the hearing to divert the conversation away from protecting women's sports, the main purpose of the hearing, to condemn President Donald Trump for other issues. Crockett had previously attempted to speakCrockett even made light of the issue of trans athlete inclusion by turning her monologue into a game she called "Trump or Trans." The game featured Crockett asking another witness whether to blame Trump or trans people for a series of unsubstantiated issues that included "increasing the price of everything" and "ignoring the constitution." The witness responded "Trump" all 12 times.Crockett has been outspokenly opposed to Republican efforts to keep trans athletes out of women's and girls' sports, even previously mocking Americans who claim to have been impacted. Yet, she tried to be complimentary with McNabb and Turner, according to them."I think she was lying," McNabb told Fox News Digital. "I did not believe one word she said, because literally the theatrics, and just how she acted literally the whole time and then trying to come over and whisper and be nice girl to us. I don't know what happened, it was like a whole other person than what we all saw 10 seconds before she got over there."Fox News Digital reached out to Crockett for further comment.Crockett's antics were one of just several incidents that highlighted a hearing of chaos that involved multiple shouting matches between committee members and witnesses, as well as plainly questionable comments. Many such comments confused, frustrated and offended Turner and McNabb.McNabb suffered permanent brain injuries in high school after getting spiked in the head by a trans opponent during a volleyball match. She then had to watch opposing witness Fatima Goss Graves, CEO of the National Women's Law Center, suggest that the way to prevent other women from facing similar injuries is to prevent spiking in volleyball altogether."I would argue that the answer is to ensure people can't spike volleyballs into other people's heads," Goss Graves said during the hearing when responding McNabb's story.WOMEN'S SWIMMERS SPEAK OUT AFTER UNKNOWINGLY FACING TRANS COMPETITOR, FILING COMPLAINT: 'I FEEL BETRAYED'For McNabb, Goss Graves' answer was startling."That was just absolutely ridiculous," McNabb said. "The fact of the matter is, that day and that injury was unlike anything else I've ever experienced, and it's because it was a man who hit me in the face, it's really just that simple."What came as an even bigger shock to McNabb was when Goss Graves offered to work with the former volleyball player to help her recover from her brain damage, during the hearing."That's not happening. This woman is obviously not sane, and I don't know why she would think I would ever want some medical advice or advice in general from her," McNabb said.Turner, who went viral in April for refusing to face a trans opponent at a fencing match and getting punished by USA Fencing, took particular offense to comments made by Rep. Lateefah Simon, D-Cal. During Simon's turn, she suggested that protecting women's sports would lead to bringing back racial segregation and that Black women would be disproportionately targeted by trans athlete restriction laws."I find that, as a Black woman myself, to be quite offensive," Turner said."I find it offensive because they lead with this statement as a Black woman, Im a Black woman.' Well, I'm a Black woman, I was born in Washington D.C., I was raised in one of the bluest parts of America in Montgomery County, Maryland, and no, I don't agree with you, that's wrong."Wednesday also marked the first time Turner came face-to-face with USA Fencing chair Damien Lehfeldt, who was subpoenaed to the hearing, since her viral kneel protest. Turner was given a black card for refusing to face the trans opponent, disqualified and escorted out of the venue, and then given a 12-month probation.Lehfeldt was aggressively pressed by Republican committee members throughout the hearing about his organization's pro-trans policies and punishment of Turner.At one point, Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., used her time to ask Lehfeldt to apologize to Turner. Lefheldt did not apologize upon the request, and in response, Mace suggested Lehfeldt was "not" a man."Real men protect women, you're not one," Mace said.Turner said she was not surprised by Lehfeldt's refusal to apologize and would not have accepted it even if he did."An apology is just empty words without actions," Turner said.Turner added that after Wednesday's hearing, she sees the next big goal in the movement to protect women's sports is to push USA Fencing to make concrete changes to its gender eligibility policy to protect women competitors.The organization said it is preparing to amend its current policies that allow biological males to compete with women and girls in the event that it is "forced" to change it.Education Secretary Linda McMahon previously announced that the newly formed Title IX investigations team will be probing the incident involving Turner and trans competitor Redmond Sullivan.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

President Donald Trump is touting that Thursday's announcement of a trade deal with the United Kingdom which is the first since the president a month ago announced massive tariffs on nations across the globe will be "the first of many."Pushing back against descriptions that the agreement hammered out between the two historic allies was just an initial deal with much more to be negotiated, Trump argued "this is a very big dealthis is a maxed-out deal that we're going to make bigger."The financial sector appeared to embrace the deal, with the stock markets rising on news of the agreement. However, for a president aiming to pass a sweeping agenda through Congress, it is the political reaction that may be of upmost importance.Trump's approval ratings have been sliding since he returned to power in the White House three and a half months ago and are now underwater in most national polling.HEAD HERE FOR THE LATEST FOX NEWS COVERAGE OF DONALD TRUMP'S PRESIDENCYFueling the drop in Trump's poll numbers are increased concerns by Americans over the economy and inflation, which were pressing issues that kept former President Joe Biden's approval ratings well below water for most of his presidency. Front and center is Trump's blockbuster tariff announcement a month ago, which sparked a trade war with some of the nation's top trading partners and triggered a massive sell-off in the financial markets and increased concerns about a recession.Most, but not all, of the most recent national public opinion surveys indicate Trump's approval ratings in negative territory, which is a slide from the president's poll position when he started his second tour of duty in the White House. An average of the latest national surveys puts the president's approval rating underwater by around six points.WHERE TRUMP STANDS IN THE LATEST FOX NEWS NATIONAL POLLTrump stood at 44% approval and 55% disapproval in the most recent Fox News national poll, which was conducted April 18-21.Additionally, the president's approval registered at 38% on the economy and just 33% on inflation and tariffs.However, veteran Republican strategist and communicator Ryan Williams, when asked about the political impact of Thursday's trade deal, described it as a "positive first step."Williams also noted that Trumps approval ratings are "tied directly to the performance of the economy."POLL POSITION: WHERE TRUMP STANDS 15 WEEKS INTO HIS SECOND PRESIDENCYIn discussing his tariffs soon after he announced them on what he called "Liberation Day," the president touted that "these countries are calling us up, kissing my a--.""They are dying to make a deal. Please, please, sir, make a deal. Ill do anything. Ill do anything, sir!" Trump highlighted.A month later, Trump finally got a chance to showcase a trade agreement.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"President Trump has argued that his agenda requires time for an adjustment and deal making. Hell be given a period of time to execute deals to prove that his plans are working and the first major trade deal with a nation like the UK is at least a sign that some of the work has been going on behind the scenes thus and is starting to bear fruit," Williams said.He added that the president will "have to back it up with more, but it is a positive first step for him in securing other deals."
