Myanmar reportedly disguised Iranian jet fuel imports as diesel

Reuters reports that Myanmar broker Dynamic Wave contracted with Thailand’s Tawan-Oil Trading for South African diesel, but tanker Reef brought about 113,000 barrels of Iranian jet fuel to Myanmar in December 2025. Reuters says Myanmar’s foreign exchange regulator wrote that it would issue import documents labeling the shipment diesel “instead of jet fuel.” The U.S. sanctioned Myanmar’s jet-fuel industry in 2023, citing its military’s bombing campaign against civilian targets.
