One $15.8 million deal covered about 113,000 barrels delivered in December 2025. A Junta regulator specifically approved marking the shipment as diesel fuel "instead of jet fuel".

Contracts direct payments through a Thai supplier's bank account. The fuel trade continues despite US sanctions against Iran and Myanmar's jet fuel industry.
