Sanctioned tankers disguised as Iraqi vessels are moving
hundreds of millions of dollars in Iranian crude as President
Donald Trump doubled down on the port blockade to squeeze
TehranrCOs oil lifeline, according to maritime intelligence.
Windward AI claimed Wednesday that a group of U.S.-sanctioned
tankers are falsifying their location data to come off as
anchored off Iraq while secretly loading Iranian oil at
Iranian ports.
"Among the tankers spoofing their location in the area
identified by Windward are four VLCCs (very large crude
carriers): Alicia (IMO 9281695), RHN (IMO 9208215), Star
Forest (9237632) and Aqua (IMO 9248473), using various
flags, including fraudulent registries from Curacao
and Malawi," the firm told Fox News Digital.

Fortunately, the US has been seizing such ships
even in the open ocean.
And ... time to blast Kharg island. Even terrorist
regimes need lots of money - so REMOVE it.
