The Government of Panama has issued a strong rebuttal to accusations made by United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) regarding its role in enforcing sanctions against Iran’s oil trade.

Panama’s Maritime Authority (AMP) on Monday reported it has de-flagged more than 650 ships since 2019 as part of its compliance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and efforts to combat terrorism financing and illegal fishing.
