The Russian President extended special economic measures relating to foreign economic activities.
The OverRuled: China Trade Controls Resource Center has been updated with the following actions:
- 16 Sep 2025 (OFAC):
OFAC imposed sanctions on a pair of Iranian financial facilitators, as well as several individuals and entities based in Hong Kong and the United Arab Emirates, pursuant to EO 13224, for facilitating the sale of Iranian oil, with proceeds benefiting Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Qods Force and Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics. These funds are used to support regional terrorist proxies and advance weapons systems, including ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles, which threaten the security of U.S. forces and those of its allies.
This action marks the second round of sanctions targeting Iran's "shadow banking" infrastructure since the President issued National Security Presidential Memorandum 2.
