The US Treasury Department of Foreign Assets Monitoring Office (OFAC) has imposed sanctions on six entities and six individuals in Iran and China because they manage a network to supply missile fuel components for the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
This network facilitated the transportation of materials such as sodium birlores and ottells from China to Iran, materials used in the manufacture of ballistic missile engines.
The sanctions included the Iranian “Samer Burman” company, its leaders and partners, in addition to Chinese companies such as “Shinzin Amra Logisx”.
These measures were taken under the executive order 13382, which targets the authorities that contribute to the spread of weapons of mass destruction.
Under the sanctions, the assets of the covered persons and entities are frozen, and any transactions with them within or through the United States are prohibited without a special license.
