Description	On July 30, 2025, the United States imposed sanctions on the vessel for engaging in activities conducted on behalf of Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani. Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani, the son of Ali Shamkhani – the chief political advisor to the Supreme Leader of Iran – leverages his father’s political influence to corrupt senior Iranian regime officials in order to build and operate a vast fleet of tankers and container ships. This fleet transports oil and petroleum products from Iran and russia, as well as other cargoes, to customers worldwide, generating tens of billions of dollars in profit. His shipping network consists of an extensive fleet of vessels, ship management companies, and front entities that launder billions of dollars in proceeds from global sales of Iranian and russian crude oil and petroleum products, primarily to buyers in the People’s Republic of China. The network takes extensive measures to conceal its operations and obscure its connections to the Shamkhani family, Iran, and russia.				[sources]
