Kuidas Iraan on osanud Katari kasutades mööda hiilida sanktsioonidest.
A hacktivist group has revealed that the Islamic Regime in Iran and Qatar have teamed up to help Iran’s regime evade U.S. sanctions by selling oil through shell companies and using the money to fund its nuclear program, long-range missiles, and terror groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.
The Prana hacktivist group has exposed Sepehr Energy Jahan (SEJ) as a front company for Iran’s Armed Forces General Staff (AFGS).
SEJ, led by Majid Azami—Ayatollah Khamenei’s top oil broker—is Iran’s main tool for bypassing sanctions on oil exports.
Last year alone, SEJ moved 65 million barrels of oil, worth over $4.2 billion—16% of Iran’s total oil exports. Funneled through AFGS’s Shahid Hemmat HQ, this cash hides the oil’s Iranian origins, pouring directly into Iran’s war chest.
Azami is also unlocking frozen Iranian funds. He’s pushing to release $1.6 billion held in Luxembourg’s Clearstream, a major securities firm, using shady deals in Qatar to move the money via cryptocurrency or gold deliveries.
In mid-April, Azami and senior Iranian officials secretly flew to Doha to resolve the “Crescent case,” a deal to access frozen funds and restore Iran’s commercial ties.
Azami’s leveraging personal ties with senior Qatari officials, offering bribes to ensure cooperation. The Crescent case involves using Iranian funds in Malaysia’s FIB bank—owned by the sanctioned Babek Zanjani—to pay off debts, despite U.S. sanctions.
Iran got Malaysia’s courts to approve withdrawing these funds, and now they’re lobbying U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) to greenlight the deal.
Azami’s Doha meetings are critical, with bribes to Qatari elites smoothing the way. This is high-level corruption, and Qatar’s enabling it.
The U.S. Treasury sanctioned Azami and SEJ in November 2023 under Executive Order 13224 for terror financing. Did that stop them? No. Azami’s still smuggling oil and chasing frozen funds, raising $4 billion for Iran’s security forces since the sanctions hit.
Prana’s leaks reveal contracts exposing SEJ’s role. One shows SEJ’s subsidiary, Sepehr Energy Hamta Pars (SEHP), selling LPG on behalf of AFGS.
Another has SEJ chartering tankers for Iran’s National Oil Company (NIOC), with AFGS as guarantor. SEJ holds shareholder meetings at AFGS headquarters in Tehran, and its board once included ex-Oil Minister Rostam Ghasemi, a regime insider.
Iran’s regime uses oil to fund its security apparatus—AFGS, Ministry of Defense, Qods Force—because direct cash transfers are too risky under sanctions.
Oil is allocated to these groups, sold through fronts like SEJ to get foreign currency for weapons, nukes, and proxies. With Azami’s cash, Iran’s racing toward acquiring nuclear weapons. The money is also used to build the drones to Iran has supplied to Russia for hitting Ukraine and arming Houthis with missiles to disrupt Red Sea trade.
Meanwhile, Iran’s people suffer. The $4.2 billion could rebuild Iran’s economy, but it’s funneled to elites and proxies while citizens face poverty and oppression.
Qatar’s role is alarming. By hosting Azami’s bribe-fueled meetings, Qatar’s enabling Iran to dodge sanctions and fund its war machine.
It's time to sanction SEJ’s network, pressure Qatar to stop aiding Iran and block access to frozen funds.
