Munir's Sanctions-Busting Oil Venture Fuels Geopolitical Windfall
Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir allegedly helped Iran evade sanctions and earned millions alongside an IRGC commander, according to a report by The Times of Israel.
The operation involved moving sanctioned Iranian crude into Pakistan, with Tehran under heavy sanctions and its exports squeezed. This secret oil transport venture reportedly became a lucrative backdoor, generating massive profits for both men while keeping Iranian oil flowing.
Munir allegedly used his commercial relationship with IRGC commander Ahmad Vahidi to persuade Tehran to stop targeting Saudi Arabia during the recent conflict. The understanding was simple: keep the missiles away from the Kingdom, and the oil, and the profits, would keep flowing.
