19 Apr. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The United States Department of the Treasury has issued this Wednesday new sanctions against an Iranian citizen and six entities for participating in an alleged plot to evade previous restrictions that has allowed the Government of Tehran to continue providing itself with what is necessary to continue with its military program.
“The sanctioned network has acquired goods and technology for the Government of Iran and its defense industry,” said the Undersecretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, Brian Nelson, who has stressed that they will continue to sanction Tehran to avoid “regional insecurity and global instability.
Treasury maintains that the proliferation of unmanned aerial vehicles and other weapons made by the Iranian military industry is destabilizing not only the Middle East, but beyond.
Thus, the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has sanctioned the head of Iran’s Pardazan System, Namad Arman, and six front companies and suppliers based in the Persian country, Malaysia, Hong Kong and China.
Those indicated by OFAC will see how all their assets in the United States are frozen, as well as all their shares in US companies, also preventing natural and legal persons, or banking entities, from trading or facilitating services directly or indirectly with those sanctioned.
