US has sanctioned around 50 individuals, companies, and vessels, including Indian nationals, firms, and a Chinese refinery, accused of facilitating Iran’s oil and LPG trade through a fleet of shadow ships.
The United States has intensified its pressure on Iran’s energy sector, announcing sanctions against more than 50 individuals, companies, and vessels accused of facilitating Iranian oil and liquefied petroleum gas sales.
The action, led by the US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control , also names several Indian nationals and firms allegedly linked to shipping Iranian petroleum products in violation of US sanctions.What Triggered The Sanctions? According to the US Treasury, these individuals and entities helped move billions of dollars’ worth of petroleum and LPG from Iran, providing critical revenue to the Iranian regime. Washington claims this money supports Iran’s network of militant and proxy groups that threaten US interests and regional stability.The move targets a vast network that includes nearly two dozen “shadow fleet” vessels - ships as well as a China-based crude oil terminal and an independent refinery. Who Has Been Sanctioned From India?Three Indian nationals - Varun Pula, Soniya Shrestha, and Iyappan Raja - have been sanctioned under Executive Order 13902 for acting on behalf of shipping firms engaged in transporting Iranian petroleum and LPG.Varun Pula owns Bertha Shipping Inc., based in the Marshall Islands, which operates the Comoros-flagged vessel PAMIR . This ship reportedly carried nearly four million barrels of Iranian LPG to China since July 2024.
