Treasury Sanctions 50 More Targets In Shamkhani's Iran Shipping Network
The July 14 action pushes designations against Shamkhani's fleet past 200, arriving after Iran resumed strikes in the Strait of Hormuz.
- More than 50 individuals, companies and vessels appear in today's designation list.
- The network began in Iranian oil exports, then expanded into containerized shipping and commodities trading.
- A Caspian Sea fleet under Shamkhani now hauls cargo directly between Iran and Russia.
Why it matters: Two hundred designations since 2025, and the fleet kept growing instead of shrinking.
