The U.S. Treasury Department has taken significant actions against entities involved in illicit activities with Iran, including sanctioning a Marshall Islands-registered shipping company, Vishnu Inc., and its vessel, the LADY SOFIA, for their involvement in shipments supporting Iran's IRGC-QF and Houthi financial facilitator Sa'id al-Jamal. Additionally, the Treasury has blacklisted the Indian-owned tanker LADY SOFIA for transporting approximately $300 million worth of Iranian crude oil to China since 2022. These sanctions extend to a network of companies and individuals facilitating illegal technology transfers from U.S. firms to Iranian entities, including Iran's central bank. This crackdown aims to counter terrorist financing and disrupt illicit commercial activities tied to Iran. Congressman Nunn has raised questions about the insurer American Club's coverage of vessels suspected of carrying sanctioned Iranian oil.
