US Sanctions 13 Individuals and Entities Tied to Iran's Weapons Procurement
Treasury said the designations target procurement networks in five countries and aim to hinder Iran’s weapons rebuilding efforts.
- On September 29, Washington imposed sanctions on 13 individuals and entities accused of helping Iran procure weapons and military components, targeting networks spanning Iran, Russia, China, Hong Kong, and Pakistan.
- The Treasury Department designed these measures to hinder Iran's ability to rebuild its weapons programs, as Russia and Iran have maintained a broader military supply network despite Western sanctions.
- Targets included Beijing-based Seyyed Asghar Alizadeh Tabatabai of Iran's Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics, Russian aircraft manufacturer Joint Stock Company Experimental Design Bureau Named After A.S. Yakovlev, and Iran-based Kavoshcom Asia.
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said, "Treasury will not tolerate any support to the regime and will continue to identify, expose, and isolate Iran's enablers." The measures aim to force Iranian negotiations following the February 28 war start.
- Brett Erickson, managing principal at Obsidian Risk Advisors, questioned whether the measures would significantly restrict Tehran's ability to conduct operations in the Strait of Hormuz, calling the action "optics management" for the Trump administration.
