The “snapback” U.N. measures freeze Iranian assets abroad, halt arms deals with Tehran and penalize any development of Iran’s ballistic missile program, among other measures.
And now, on Wednesday, the Treasury Department named 21 entities and 17 individuals involved in networks that have helped procure technology for advanced surface-to-air missile systems and the illegal purchase of a U.S.-manufactured helicopter.
The sanctions include penalties on a network that works out of Iran, Hong Kong, and China for sourcing U.S.-origin, dual-use electronics for an Iranian-controlled firm that produces equipment for the Iranian military.
In addition, the Treasury Department is sanctioning a group operating out of Iran, Germany, Turkey, Portugal, and Uruguay that procured a U.S.-origin helicopter, for the Iranian military.
“The Iranian regime’s support of terrorist proxies and its pursuit of nuclear weapons threatens the security of the Middle East, the United States and our allies around the world,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement.
