Hosseyn Shamkhani
Hosseyn Shamkhani is a prominent Iranian oil trader who has recently come under significant scrutiny due to U.S. sanctions targeting his business operations. He is the son of Ali Shamkhani, a senior advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The U.S. government alleges that Hosseyn exploited his father's influence to establish an international shipping network for transporting Iranian oil and petroleum products, particularly through a series of front companies. These sanctions are part of a broader strategy to limit Iran's oil exports and curb its nuclear ambitions.
