The US Treasury Department announced sanctions today on more than two dozen individuals, companies and vessels it says are involved in exporting Iranian oil and natural gas, APA reports citing CNN.
All these entities are part of a network run by Mohammed Hossein Shamkhani, whose father was a top political adviser to Iran’s slain supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and was also killed in the US-Israeli strikes, Treasury said.
Nine vessels, a mixture of oil and liquefied petroleum gas tankers, are included in the sanctions, as well as several companies based in the United Arab Emirates.
