Is Iran dependent on Malaysia to circumvent US sanctions?

A senior US Treasury official confirmed that Iran relies on Malaysian service providers to circumvent sanctions and sell its oil in the region.

Washington has imposed tough sanctions on Iran and its proxies, seeking to deprive it of funds it says it uses to destabilize the Middle East.

The official, requesting anonymity, said that Tehran’s oil sales in East Asia financed armed groups allied with it, including Hamas and the Houthis.

The source reported that oil shipments were sent to buyers in the region via waters near Singapore and Malaysia.

The official added, “Iran’s ability to transport oil depended on… this type of service provider based in Malaysia.” We want a direct dialogue with Malaysia on this matter.”

He continued, “Stopping these oil shipments will deal a decisive blow to Iran’s ability to finance these attacks around the world, including attacks by the Houthis, who are currently threatening commercial shipping.”

The US Treasury Department will cooperate with shipping companies and banks in Singapore and Malaysia to stop the sales, according to the official.

He explained that Washington is also seeking to “prevent Malaysia from turning into a jurisdiction where Hamas believes it can collect money and then transfer it.”

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen announced last month that Washington is working to reduce Iran’s ability to export oil, suggesting that “we can do more.”  link
