Four Indian companies have been sanctioned by the US for allegedly helping Iran trade and transport oil, as Washington expands its economic pressure campaign under “Operation Economic Outcast”. The measures target entities accused of facilitating Iranian petroleum sales through shipping, financial and trading networks. The US Treasury has warned that businesses and banks continuing to deal with Iran could face further action. The sanctions come as Washington seeks to isolate Tehran economically and pressure its trading partners. The move could raise concerns for Indian firms with exposure to Iranian oil and related business networks. (PC: HT)
