Ali Shamkhani Funeral in Tehran: Global Reactions After U.S.–Israel Attack
International Shipping and Trade Network
Reports claim that Shamkhani controls or influences a network of companies involved in exporting oil and petroleum products through jurisdictions that have not imposed Western sanctions.
The network is also said to operate a fleet of vessels, including tankers and cargo ships, used to transport crude oil and refined products across international markets.
Weapons Supply Allegations
Some U.S. officials have alleged that companies connected to Shamkhani have also been involved in the logistics of supplying Iranian military equipment abroad. These claims include the transport of missile components, drone parts, and other dual-use materials through commercial shipping networks.
One company reportedly linked to these logistics operations is Crios Shipping LLC, which has been cited in investigations concerning maritime shipments associated with Iranian trade routes.
