Malaysia denies facilitating Iranian oil transfers amid sanctions evasion claims

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

UANI claims Malaysia's maritime agency is not adequately enforcing regulations, allowing Iran's "shadow fleet" to circumvent sanctions, primarily by selling crude to China. Malaysian authorities deny ignoring the trade, stating that many transfers occur outside their territorial waters and that a lack of real-time intelligence sharing hinders enforcement. AI
