US Sanctions Four India-Based Companies Over Iran Trade
· Business · The Hindu, Hindustan Times, The Guardian
The US government has sanctioned four India-based companies for importing petroleum and petrochemical products from Iran. The entities include Portease Partners LLP, Sadashiva Overseas Limited, PP Softtech Private Limited, and Prakrutees Infra Impex Private Limited. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the move as part of 'Operation Economic Outcast', which aims to block Iran's revenue sources. The State Department stated that Sadashiva Overseas imported $69 million worth of petroleum products, while PP Softtech and Prakrutees Infra each imported $25 million worth. The sanctions follow a broader US directive for countries to cut economic ties with Tehran.

These sanctions create significant legal and financial risks for Indian businesses engaging in trade with Iran, potentially disrupting established supply chains.
