Israel's Shadow Fleet and US sanctions
The U.S. Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on approximately 60 individuals and entities, including six oil and gas tankers connected to the Iranian regime. These sanctions allege that Iran is engaged in smuggling oil by transferring millions of barrels to ports in China and the United Arab Emirates. Among these tankers are the "Quantum Hopp" and "Star Bion," which are responsible for unauthorized transport operations involving over 6.6 million barrels of Iranian oil, according to maritime data. These measures are part of an American campaign to isolate Iran by expanding sanctions and limiting sources of funding, with warnings that activities such as oil smuggling and money laundering could lead to additional penalties. The goal is to weaken Iran’s financial links and halt its nuclear and missile activities.
