What was the reason for Adani Enterprises' $275 million settlement with the U.S. Treasury Department?

The settlement stems from Adani Enterprises' purchases of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) shipments from a Dubai-based trader, where 'red flags should have put AEL on notice that the LPG actually originated from Iran,' according to the Treasury Department's statement.

Which U.S. agency investigated Adani Enterprises and what specific activity triggered the probe?

The U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) investigated Adani Enterprises following transactions involving imports of Iranian liquefied petroleum gas, specifically through the Mundra port, as reported by the Wall Street Journal and confirmed by Adani Enterprises' earlier acknowledgment of receiving a request for information from OFAC.
