On October 9, 2025, the United States expanded its Iran-related sanctions, designating over 100 individuals, entities, and vessels — including 8 Indian nationals and 9 Indian entities — for allegedly facilitating Iran’s petroleum and LPG trade.
Sanctioned entities and individuals should carefully evaluate their legal and strategic options, including potential delisting efforts and strengthening internal compliance frameworks.
While the recent sanctions do not directly impact purely domestic transactions in India, Indian companies with cross-border linkages must adopt a cautious approach, even in domestic dealings. It is equally important to assess the specific nature and factual context of the sanctions imposed under different statutes, agencies, and jurisdictions to determine the overall impact and appropriate strategic response.
