Iran sanctions evasion remains a persistent challenge, as networks of tankers and traders continue to exploit maritime loopholes despite mounting enforcement efforts.
While reports of a potential ceasefire between Iran and Israel suggest a shift in regional tensions, maritime enforcement challenges in the Persian Gulf remain firmly in place. Iranian oil flows continue largely undeterred, with over 160 “Dark Fleet” tankers still active—exploiting regulatory blind spots and pushing the limits of sanctions compliance.
Despite signs of diplomatic movement, the U.S. and its allies have not scaled back their efforts. Real-time vessel targeting, asset seizures, and network disruption operations continue, underscoring the persistent need for vigilance.
