Reuters investigation reveals Myanmar disguised purchases of sanctioned Iranian jet fuel using sham paperwork
A US-sanctioned tanker, Reef, delivered roughly 113,000 barrels of Iranian jet fuel to Myanmar in December 2025 under paperwork falsely labeling the cargo as South African diesel. Myanmar's foreign exchange regulator authorized import documentation mislabeling the fuel, and the shipment was arranged through broker Dynamic Wave and client National Energy Prime Aviation Services Company with Thailand's Tawan-Oil Trading. The deception circumvented US sanctions imposed in 2023 on Myanmar's jet-fuel industry over military airstrikes on civilians.
