The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control designated multiple individuals, entities, and vessels on the Specially Designated Nationals List for supporting the Iranian regime's illicit oil smuggling operations. The sanctions target key figures linked to Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani and Seyed Naiemaei Badroddin Moosavi, along with shipping companies and tankers operating in the UAE, India, and the Marshall Islands. These designations impose asset freezes and prohibit transactions by U.S. persons, with some subjects facing secondary sanctions under Executive Order 13902 and Hizballah financial regulations.
