Sepehr Energy Jahan
Sepehr Energy Jahan Nama Pars Company (commonly Sepehr Energy) has been identified by U.S. authorities as a key front for Iran's military in evading international sanctions on the oil and petrochemical sectors. Established in late 2022, Sepehr Energy is controlled by Iran's Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics (MODAFL) and operates under the umbrella of the Armed Forces General Staff (AFGS).  U.S. sanctions describe it as "a front company for Iran's government oil sales" that generates revenue to fund the regime's ballistic missile program and proxy groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah. As the U.S. Department of the Treasury explained, Sepehr Energy and its affiliates "use deceitful evasion methods such as falsification of maritime documents to obfuscate the Iranian origin of the oil that it trades and transports to overseas buyers, including the People's Republic of China".

Oil smuggling in Iran
Oil smuggling in Iran is driven by factors like international sanctions on Iranian crude and steep fuel price differences with neighboring countries. These conditions have spawned a thriving illicit trade in both crude oil and refined fuels. Smuggling operations range from small-scale overland fuel trafficking to sophisticated global schemes involving tanker fleets. Oil smuggling has economic impacts and geopolitical implications.

Jamsil-dong
Jamsil-dong (Korean: 잠실동) is a dong (neighborhood) of Songpa District, Seoul, South Korea. Its name is derived from silkworm breeding during the Joseon period. Jamsil translates to a room or place for sericulture ("jam" is silkworm, "sil" is room). The state encouraged people to raise silkworms, so founded Dongjamsil (동잠실, literally "east place for sericulture") in the east vicinity of Seoul.

Today, it has developed into one of Seoul's major transportation hubs, served by both subway and bus routes connecting to various areas.

Sericulture
Sericulture, or silk farming, is the cultivation of silkworms to produce silk. Although there are several commercial species of silkworms, the caterpillar of the domestic silkmoth is the most widely used and intensively studied silkworm. This species of silkmoth is no longer found in the wild as they have been modified through selective breeding, rendering most flightless and without defense against predators. Silk is believed to have first been produced in China as early as the Neolithic period.   Today, China and India are the two main producers, with more than 60% of the world's annual production.

Wadati–Benioff zone
A Wadati–Benioff zone (also Benioff–Wadati zone or Benioff zone or Benioff seismic zone) is a planar zone of seismicity corresponding with the down-going slab in a subduction zone. Differential motion along the zone produces numerous earthquakes, the foci of which may be as deep as about 670 km (420 mi). The term was named for the two seismologists, Hugo Benioff of the California Institute of Technology and Kiyoo Wadati of the Japan Meteorological Agency, who independently discovered the zones.

Wadati–Benioff zone earthquakes develop beneath volcanic island arcs and continental margins above active subduction zones. They can be produced by slip along the subduction thrust fault or slip on faults within the downgoing plate, as a result of bending and extension as the plate is pulled into the mantle. The deep-focus earthquakes along the zone allow seismologists to map the three-dimensional surface of a subducting slab of oceanic crust and mantle.
