The United States has imposed new sanctions on companies and individuals involved in Iran’s covert oil network, including an India-based shipping operator and a petroleum products trader.
The move is part of Washington’s effort to block funding that it says supports Iran’s nuclear activities, armed groups, and military operations in the region.
The sanctioned Indian entities include RN Ship Management Private Limited from Maharashtra and TR6 Petro India LLP from Pune. Two Indian nationals, Zair Husain Iqbal Husain Sayed and Zulfikar Hussain Rizvi Sayed, were also named.
According to the US State Department, TR6 Petro imported more than USD 8 million worth of Iranian-origin bitumen between October 2024 and June 2025. The firm has been designated under Executive Order 13846 for taking part in a significant transaction involving Iranian petroleum products.
RN Ship Management was listed because it was believed to have managed vessels carrying Iranian crude on behalf of Sepehr Energy
