Iranian Shadow Fleet

The Iranian shadow fleet is a network of oil tankers, shell companies, and covert logistical operations used by the Islamic Republic of Iran to secretly export oil in defiance of international sanctions, primarily those imposed by the United States. This shadow fleet plays a central role in sustaining Iran's sanctioned economy, particularly in funding the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its foreign operations.
