On November 4, 2026, the US Treasury imposed sanctions on companies and individuals in India and Turkey for aiding Iran amid ongoing military conflicts. This action is part of the Trump administration's 'Operation Economic Outcast,' aimed at crippling Iran's oil sales. The sanctions specifically target Suniel Kumar Sharma and Jaspreet Preeti Shahid, who allegedly provided false flags and certifications for vessels transporting Iranian oil, including those linked to the Iranian military. The Treasury claims these actions are severely impacting Iran's economy, with the rial currency plummeting and inflation rates soaring to around 90%. Additionally, Turkey-based Fugo Ground Services Inc was sanctioned for supporting Iran's aviation sector. The US Treasury warns that it will continue to pursue entities supporting Iran, emphasizing the risks associated with dealing with potentially false flagged vessels.
