Description	The tanker, during the period of the oil embargo and price cap policy on russian crude oil/petroleum products, is involved in the export of russian crude oil/petroleum products. The vessel is also involved in the transportation of iranian crude oil/petroleum products. br On March 26, 2024, the US imposed sanctions on the tanker as part of restrictions on a network of companies and vessels used by Sa'id al-Jamal, an Iranian financial intermediary for the Houthis (Houthi) supported by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force (IRGC-QF). br Many tankers involved in transporting Iranian oil to countries such as China are involved in Venezuelan trade, including tanker IMO 9185530. On June 11, 2022, Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and former Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi signed a 20-year cooperation agreement to expand ties in the oil and petrochemical industries, as well as in the military and economic spheres. Since then, bilateral ties have begun to develop. Most cargo is transported by ships belonging to the sanctioned National Iranian Tanker Company (NITC) in both directions. A significant number of ships flying foreign (non-Iranian) flags are also involved in this trade.				[sources]
