What to know
- U.S. destroyed five Iranian tankers on September 8, three of which were identified as part of Russia's shadow fleet used to transport sanctioned oil.
- The three vessels—Kaviz, Charminar, Riesco—had previously called at Russian ports and were linked to Fractal Marine DMCC, a key shadow fleet operator.
- Russia's shadow fleet carries an estimated 75% of the country's sanctioned oil, generating crucial revenue for Moscow's war effort.
“The Kaviz had called at the Russian ports of Ust-Luga and Novorossiysk and transported Russian oil.”
