New Sanctions Target Law Firm Behind Iran's Shadow Fleet Operations
Sanctions now target the law firm enabling Iran's shadow fleet, not just the vessels themselves. The U.S. Department of the Treasury's latest action under Operation Economic Outcast strikes at a Greece- and Panama-based firm that provides the legal architecture for covert oil transfers.

Twenty-two ageing tankers, the core of Iran's remaining shadow fleet, are now mapped and sanctioned. This network moves oil and petroleum products to foreign buyers, circumventing existing restrictions. Tracking these vessels is not academic, it is a measurable step toward enforcing accountability. The recent spike in tanker strikes near the Strait of Hormuz, detailed in our weekly analysis, underscores the escalating risk in these waters. Understanding the fleet's movements is essential for maintaining maritime security.
