US Targets Network Selling Fraudulent Flags to Iranian Shadow Fleet
What happened
The United States is taking action against a criminal network that sells fraudulent flags to the Iranian regime's shadow fleet of ships. The action, part of Operation Economic Outcast, also targets a Türkiye-based company that provides ground services to sanctioned Iranian airlines. The network, formed by India-based Suniel Kumar Sharma and Jaspreet Preeti Shahid, sold fraudulent registrations to vessels carrying illicit Iranian oil, and the US action targets 13 individuals and companies within that network.
