Since the beginning of russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, more than 100 vessels that previously helped Tehran export Iranian export oil now help russia transport russian crude/petroleum products. · Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani is the son of Ali Shamkhani, the Chief Political Advisor to the Supreme Leader of Iran. · Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani uses corruption through his father's political influence at the highest levels of the Iranian regime to build and operate a huge fleet of tankers and container ships. This network transports oil and petroleum products from Iran and russia, as well as other cargoes, to buyers around the world, generating tens of billions of dollars in profits. · On July 30, 2025, USA imposed sanctions on the tanker as the property of the sanctioned shipping company Kylo Shipping Inc. which is involved in providing material assistance, financial, material, technological support, goods or services to the sanctioned Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani. · On June 17, 2025, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on the tanker due to the transportation of crude oil/petroleum products of russian origin from russia to third countries. · | [sources] | |||
