Warning on US sanctions enforcement
US law firm Chalos has issued warnings to clients in the shipping, logistics, and marine insurance sectors regarding the US
Department of the Treasury's announcement of a wide-sweeping sanctions campaign branded "Operation Economic Outcast", which
doubles down on its efforts to economically subdue Iran and its enablers. The Treasury Department described the event as an
economic "D-Day" aimed at closing off every financial channel that sustains the Iranian regime and the Islamic Revolutionary
Guard Corps and warned that it has mapped the networks, facilitators, and financial channels Iran uses to smuggle oil, evade
sanctions and fund terrorism.
