U.S. Treasury Takes Action Against Oil Tanker With Iranian Ties
[Jerusalem Post] The US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) took action on Friday against the oil tanker Adrian Darya 1, its Captain Akhilesh Kumar, and anyone aiding it. US National Security Advisor John Bolton said on social media on Friday night that "Sanctions are serious" and "let this be a lesson to anyone" who may wish to support Iranian oil sales. The tanker is believed by the US to help Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF) to ship and transfer oil, Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Sigal Mandelker said in a press release by the Treasury. "Anyone providing support to the Adrian Darya 1 risks being sanctioned," she said. Posted by: Besoeker 2019-08-31 |
