By the time the warplane swooped over Vanha and bombed the school, Myanmar’s air force had already received huge quantities of Iranian jet fuel. Reuters could not confirm whether the warplane that struck Vanha was flying on Iranian jet fuel. An analyst who tracks Iranian shipping also confirmed some jet fuel deliveries. “The UK condemns human rights violations by the Myanmar military, including airstrikes on civilian infrastructure,” the Foreign Office spokesman said. Only days earlier, Reef had made another covert delivery to Myanmar, unloading nearly 15,000 metric tons ​of jet fuel, according to the documents and satellite images.
