Iran-Related and Counter Terrorism Sanctions Designations
Summary
OFAC added 3 individuals and 2 entities to the Specially Designated Nationals List for Iran-related and counter-terrorism sanctions violations. The designations target persons connected to Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani and entities supporting Hizballah. All designated parties are subject to full asset blocking, and US persons are prohibited from engaging in transactions with them.

These designations impose full blocking requirements on all property and interests in property of the designated parties within US jurisdiction.\n\nFinancial institutions, importers, exporters, and any US persons must immediately cease dealings with these parties, screen their customer bases and counterparties against the SDN List, and report any blocked property to OFAC within 10 business days. Non-compliance can result in civil monetary penalties adjusted annually for inflation and criminal prosecution.
