A businessman has been jailed for 41 months in the US after admitting sanctions busting by buying two LPG tankers and faking documents to move Iranian cargoes.
Naturalised American Behrouz Mokhtari, 72, pleaded guilty to working with a group of Iranians to ship petrochemical products to and from Iran for at least four years from February 2013.
In a separate conspiracy, he controlled businesses in the United Arab Emirates and Iran that were involved in refining and shipping oil products from 2018 to 2020, according to the US Department of Justice.
