Records trace Iranian jet fuel shipment to Myanmar
By The BriefBrief
The tanker Reef delivered about 113,000 barrels of Iranian jet fuel to Myanmar in December 2025, according to shipment records, satellite imagery and analysis by SynMax Intelligence. A $15.8 million contract described the cargo as South African diesel; the account says that trade did not occur. The shipment was disguised amid U.S. sanctions on Myanmar’s jet-fuel industry and Iranian fuel purchases.
WHO: The tanker Reef carried the shipment; Myanmar-based energy broker Dynamic Wave ordered it from Thailand’s Tawan-Oil Trading.
WHAT: Reef carried about 113,000 barrels of Iranian jet fuel to Myanmar under paperwork describing the cargo as South African diesel.
WHEN: Reported Oct 26, 2026 at 12:23 AM ET
WHERE: Myanmar
WHY: The shipment was disguised because the United States had imposed targeted sanctions on Myanmar’s jet-fuel industry, and buyers of Iranian fuel were exposed to U.S. sanctions.
