How a Shadow Oil Empire Helps Iran’s Regime Cling to Power | Bloomberg Investigates

Dr.Docs' Take

Bloomberg traces a shadow oil empire quietly keeping a sanctioned regime afloat, following the money through fleets that would very much prefer not to be seen. I live for a follow-the-money story, because greed leaves a paper trail even when the politics is deliberately murky. No saucers here, just tankers going dark and billions changing hands in the gaps. Cold, sharp financial investigation into how power actually pays its own bills.

How did the soft-spoken son of a key adviser to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei become a major player in international energy markets? Bloomberg Investigates goes inside the Iranian shadow fleet, uncovering a sprawling, multibillion-dollar empire dealing in oil and weapons. From Dubai to Russia, this investigation follows the trail of money that has fueled Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and allowed the regime to maintain its grip on power despite mounting international pressure, and now war.
