EU countries have separately implemented an embargo that prohibits them from purchasing seaborne Russian oil. In an attempt to overcome these curbs on the country\u2019s oil, Russia has established its own shadow fleet of tankers. These are mostly older vessels, many of which have experience working with sanctioned regimes such as Iran. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, more than 52 vessels previously involved in helping Tehran export Iranian export oil are now helping Moscow transport Russian oil or petroleum products.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedagainstnucleariran.com\/blog\/switch-list-tankers-shift-from-carrying-iranian-oil-to-russian-oil\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Two Clerics Attacked and Injured in Qom<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to state media reports, on Saturday morning, April 29, a car attacked two state-affiliated clerics in Qom and injured them seriously.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to the state-run website Didban, around 4:30 this morning, a car attacked two state-affiliated clerics at a bus station on Shohada Safaiye Street in Qom, seriously injuring them.
