Info:
As of mid-2022, a Gulf-based network of individuals and companies were blending and exporting Iranian oil in support of Hizballah and the IRGC-QF. Viktor Artemov, Edman Nafrieh, Rouzbeh Zahedi, and Mohamed El Zein leveraged dozens of companies under their control to conduct the network’s illicit activities. The network used storage units in the Port of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates, and blended products of Indian origin with Iranian oil to obfuscate the Iranian origin. The companies then modified or created counterfeit certificates of origin and quality for the blended oil, which was then transferred for sale abroad;

Iranian national Edman Nafrieh (Nafrieh) oversaw a network of dozens of companies that supported the network’s illegal blending and exportation of Iranian oil in support of Hizballah and the IRGC-QF. Nafrieh received orders from high-ranking Iranian officials associated with the U.S.-designated Iranian Supreme Leader’s Office to direct the network’s oil smuggling operation profits to companies and bank accounts associated with Hizballah and the IRGC-QF. Nafrieh is the CEO and Chairperson of Gilda Tar Karvan International Company.

Al Hakeel Al Aswad Oil Trading LLC (Al-Hakeel) was also used by the oil smuggling network to facilitate its illicit oil shipments.
