On October 8, 2026, the U.S. imposed sanctions on two Mumbai-based firms, SSPL Solutions Private Limited and Samudra Marine Services Private Limited, along with five Indian nationals for their involvement in the trade of Iranian petroleum products. The sanctions are part of Operation Economic Outcast, aimed at disrupting Iran's oil revenue streams. The individuals sanctioned include Dhwani and Nisarg Vora from SSPL Solutions and Ketan Kochikar, Bhupendrasingh Sahu, and Harishyam Chundakattil from Samudra Marine Services. The U.S. Treasury Department also sanctioned 17 additional entities and vessels linked to Iranian oil trade. The sanctions are intended to prevent the Iranian regime from accessing funds used for regional conflicts. A temporary wind-down period for Samudra Marine Services has been authorized until October 23, allowing them to complete existing transactions. The sanctions reflect ongoing U.S. efforts to curb Iranian oil sales and their implications for international trade.
