The United States has requested Panama to remove the flags from Iranian vessels that have been sanctioned by Washington. This move comes amidst escalating tensions between the US and Iran, with Panama being urged to comply with the sanctions imposed by the US government.
The request was made in light of the US sanctions targeting Iranian vessels that are allegedly involved in illicit activities, including the transportation of oil to countries like Venezuela. The US has been actively working to disrupt such operations and has called on Panama to support these efforts by stripping the flags from the Iranian ships.
