U.S. Treasury Imposes Sanctions on Iran Regime’s Oil Tanker Adrian Darya 1

Oil tanker, formerly known as Grace 1, renamed and reflagged

The United States on Friday imposed sanctions against an oil tanker belonging to the Iranian regime for transporting Iranian crude oil to Syria in violation of international sanctions.

“The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) took action today against Adrian Darya 1, an oil tanker transporting 2.1 million barrels of Iranian crude oil ultimately benefitting Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF),” the Treasury and its captain for providing assistance to the IRGC to sell illicit oil from Iran to Syria. The U.S. will not idly watch the Assad regime use Iranian oil to terrorize its own people. / would not head to Syria. We have reliable information that the tanker is underway and headed to Tartus, Syria. I hope it changes course. It was a big mistake to trust Zarif. pic.twitter.com/ZJ06MWjvCO
