US sanctions Indian, Turkish firms over Iran oil evasion

The US Treasury has sanctioned an Indian couple in Chandigarh and Turkish firm Fugo Ground Services for allegedly helping Iran evade oil and aviation restrictions. Suniel Kumar Sharma and Jaspreet Preeti Shahid are accused of issuing fake ship registries since at least 2014. The measures are part of the Trump administration's "Operation Economic Outcast" campaign against Tehran.
