US Imposes Sanctions on Iran's Shadow Fleet and Related Entities Including Indian Firms
The US has imposed fresh sanctions targeting Iran's shadow fleet of tankers, 27 companies, six individuals, and 22 vessels involved in transporting Iranian crude oil, petroleum, and petrochemical products. This action, part of Operation Economic Outcast, aims to cut 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 Iranian petroleum trade. The US also authorized a temporary wind-down period for one Indian firm to complete existing transactions.
