Iranian Official's Son Accused of Profiting from Oil Trade

Ali Shamkhani, a former close adviser to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, served as the head of Iran’s top security body for ten years, marking him as one of the longest-serving officials in this capacity. Bloomberg posted on X that his son, Hossein Shamkhani, has become a prominent figure in the oil industry. Hossein's Dubai-based company is alleged to have amassed billions of dollars through the international trade of Iranian and Russian crude oil.
