According to the United Against Nuclear Iran, the tanker is involved in the transportation of Iranian oil, and after the start of russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, it has been helping russia to transport russian crude oil/petroleum products.
On May 20, 2025, the EU imposed sanctions, which will enter into force on May 21, 2025, on the tanker for the transportation of crude oil/petroleum products originating in or exported from russia, using irregular high-risk shipping practices as specified in the International Maritime Organization General Assembly Resolution A.1192(33).
The tanker during the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo and the price cap policy on russian crude oil/petroleum products is involved in the export of russian crude oil/petroleum products.
The tanker is included in the list of "The Maduro-Khamenei Oil Alliance: List of Foreign Flagged Vessels Shipping Iranian and Venezuelan Oil" compiled by the United Against Nuclear Iran. According to UANI, the vessel is one of the tankers that do not belong to the sanctioned National Iranian Tanker Company, sail under foreign flags (not the flag of Iran) and participate in Iranian-Venezuelan trade, which has been actively developing since Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and former Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi signed a 20-year cooperation agreement in June 2022 to expand ties in the oil and petrochemical industries, military and economic spheres. Under this agreement, Iran supplies Venezuela with crude oil and gas condensate, and Venezuela supplies Iran with fuel oil.
