The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has sanctioned UAE-based Indian national Jugwinder Singh Brar for managing a vast shipping network transporting Iranian oil. Brar’s fleet, part of Iran’s “shadow fleet,” conducts ship-to-ship transfers of Iranian petroleum, aiding the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) and the Iranian military. Facilitators then blend and disguise these oils to evade sanctions. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent emphasized the U.S. commitment to disrupting Iran’s oil exports and undermining its destabilizing activities. Four Brar-affiliated entities are also sanctioned to curb these illicit operations.
