In a decisive move under its Economic Fury campaign, the U.S. Department of the Treasury has sanctioned 10 individuals and entities across the Middle East, Asia, and Eastern Europe. These targets are involved in facilitating Iran’s military efforts, particularly in securing weapons and components for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and ballistic missiles. The Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) continues to proactively disrupt these networks that bolster Iran’s military capabilities.

Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent highlighted the urgency of these actions, emphasizing the need to combat threats posed by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The ongoing sanctions underscore a commitment to undermining Iran’s financial support for military operations, particularly those in opposition to U.S. interests.

In conjunction with these sanctions, the U.S. Department of State has designated four additional entities linked to Iran’s conventional arms activities. This multi-faceted approach highlights the government’s strategy of maintaining maximum pressure on Iran by restricting the regime’s ability to generate, transfer, and reclaim funds, thereby limiting its military outreach.
