The United States has imposed sanctions on 35 individuals and entities accused of assisting Iran in bypassing sanctions and financing its military structures. This was reported by Reuters, according to UNN.
Details
According to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the restrictions target networks of the so-called "shadow banking system," through which Iran moved tens of billions of dollars. These funds were used, in particular, for the illegal sale of oil, the procurement of missile components, and the financing of affiliated groups.
"Iran’s shadow banking system serves as a critical financial lifeline for its military, enabling activities that disrupt global trade and fuel violence in the Middle East,"
Warning for companies
The Treasury Department also emphasized that companies making payments to the Iranian government or the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps for passage through the Strait of Hormuz could face sanctions.
"The illicit funds flowing through this network support the regime’s ongoing terrorist operations, posing a direct threat to U.S. personnel, regional allies, and the global economy,"
