US Imposes Sanctions on Iran's Shadow Fleet and Associated Entities Including Indian Firms
The United States has imposed fresh sanctions targeting Iran's shadow fleet, including 22 vessels, 27 companies, and six individuals involved in transporting Iranian crude oil, petroleum, and petrochemical products. This action, part of Operation Economic Outcast, aims to cut off Tehran's revenue used for regional military activities and sanctions evasion. Among those sanctioned are two Mumbai-based firms and five Indian nationals accused of facilitating Iran's petroleum trade. The US also authorized a temporary wind-down period for some entities to conclude existing transactions.
