FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned entities and vessels accusing them of facilitating the shipment of Iranian-origin liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to buyers across South and East Asia while disguising the cargoes as Omani exports. According to OFAC, the network relied on front companies based in the United Arab Emirates and China, foreign bank accounts, and vessels linked to Iran’s so-called “shadow fleet” to transport millions of barrels of LPG while concealing the cargoes’ Iranian origin and evading U.S. sanctions.
