The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is publishing the names of one or more persons that have been placed on OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN List) based on OFAC's determination that one or more applicable legal criteria were satisfied. All property and interests in property subject to U.S.…
The action reaches maritime insurance and transit services marketed to vessels using the Strait of Hormuz, plus ship managers and tankers moving Iranian petroleum. U.S. persons must block covered property, and the restrictions also reach entities owned 50 percent or more by blocked persons.
The additions reach airline sales, freight-forwarder communications, electronics transport, travel, logistics, and related payment workflows. U.S. persons generally cannot transact with the named parties without authorization, and OFAC's 50 Percent Rule can block entities they own even when those entities are not separately listed.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is publishing updates to the identifying information of one or more persons currently included in OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN List). OFAC is also publishing the names of one or more persons whose property and interests in property have been unblocked and who have been removed from the SDN List.
Airline, aircraft, payment, ticketing, maintenance, insurance, and cargo-screening records should reflect the removals without incorrectly clearing the still-listed individual. Delisting these SDN records does not by itself resolve other sanctions, export-control, ownership, or transaction-specific restrictions.
The action creates screening risk in ordinary Mexico-to-U.S. commercial categories, where a listed legal name may not look like a cartel counterparty. U.S.-nexus transactions with the named parties and entities they own 50 percent or more are generally prohibited unless authorized or exempt.
The additions reach logistics, aviation, rail, travel, payments, diamonds, and digital-asset settlement across Iran, Turkey, and the UAE. U.S.-nexus transactions with the named parties and entities they own 50 percent or more are generally prohibited unless authorized or exempt.
A party disappearing from the SDN List is not automatically cleared for every transaction. OFAC says assets blocked before July 14 remain blocked for people still sanctioned under the Hong Kong Autonomy Act, whose new NS-MBS entries continue to carry blocking and transaction restrictions with an exception for importation of goods.
The additions reach aviation services, transport, procurement, travel coordination, and financial functions across Iran, Nigeria, Italy, and Russia. U.S. persons generally cannot transact with the named parties without authorization, and entities they own 50 percent or more may also be blocked even if not separately listed.
The newly blocked parties reach payment and commercial-counterparty screening outside Iran. U.S. persons generally cannot transact with the named parties outside an authorization, and entities they own 50 percent or more may also be blocked even if not named separately.
The action reaches a major Cuban container terminal and a coastal-freight company, creating immediate carrier, port, payment, and counterparty-screening risk. The CEIBA licenses do not authorize transactions with the other newly blocked Cuban parties.
The action reaches ordinary container and cargo workflows, not only oil tankers. U.S. persons generally cannot transact with the named parties or blocked vessels outside an authorization, and OFAC's 50 Percent Rule can also block entities they own even when those entities are not named separately.
The license can support ordinary-course supplier, insurance, payroll, property, and operating transactions for covered Lukoil International entities, but it does not authorize an actual sale or funds transfers to a person or account in Russia.
