U.S. Treasury Sanctions Iranian Aviation and Shipping Entities
On February 25, the U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) updated its 'Specially Designated Nationals List,' imposing sanctions on several individuals, entities, and vessels linked to Iran. The sanctions target four Iranian individuals associated with Iran's aviation industry, multiple shipping and trading companies in Iran, Turkey, the UAE, Panama, Marshall Islands, and Liberia, and at least 13 oil and liquefied gas tankers. These vessels are flagged under various countries, including Panama, Palau, Barbados, Vanuatu, Comoros, and Iran. The sanctioned parties will face asset freezes and restrictions on transactions with the U.S. financial system.
