Public or investigative records show that the named entities/vessels moved hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of Iranian petroleum and petroleum products, including LPG.
The claim that the sanctioned entities and nine vessels shipped hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of Iranian petroleum and petroleum products, including LPG, is supported by official US government statements. The State Department’s January 23, 2026 press release explicitly describes eight entities and nine vessels in Iran’s shadow fleet that "have shipped hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of Iranian petroleum and petroleum products, including liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)." Earlier State and Treasury releases also describe networks that move Iranian oil and LPG generating substantial revenue for the regime, corroborating the scale and product mix referenced in the claim.
