Background
Zeus Logistics Group is a logistics company registered in Muscat, Oman, designated by OFAC on 11 May 2026 under Operation Economic Fury. It is the sole Omani entity in a round that also designated four UAE entities and four Hong Kong shells, indicating the IRGC's oil-logistics network extended into Oman's port and warehousing infrastructure.
Oman's position makes it strategically significant: the Sultanate sits at the eastern entrance to the Strait of Hormuz and has historically maintained a degree of neutrality in Gulf disputes. Oman played a key backchannel role in earlier US-Iran nuclear negotiations. Zeus Logistics' designation signals that OFAC has evidence the IRGC was using Omani logistics infrastructure as part of the oil-transport chain, potentially for ship-to-ship transfers or re-labelling operations near the Strait.
