What changed

The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has designated four individuals and seventeen entities for their involvement in Iran's ballistic missile program and its "shadow fleet" of oil tankers. These designations, effective February 25, 2026, add these parties to the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List, imposing secondary sanctions. The action targets networks supplying Iran's ballistic missile and weapons programs, as well as entities facilitating its illicit oil trade.

Regulated entities, particularly those involved in international trade, finance, and maritime services, must immediately review their dealings and ensure they do not engage with any of the newly sanctioned individuals or entities. Failure to comply with OFAC sanctions can result in severe penalties, including significant fines and asset freezes. Compliance officers should update their screening lists and conduct enhanced due diligence on any transactions or relationships potentially connected to Iran's sanctioned programs.

What to do next

Screen all transactions and counterparties against the updated SDN List.
Review existing business relationships for connections to sanctioned Iranian entities or individuals.
Implement enhanced due diligence for any parties involved in maritime or missile-related trade with Iran.
