updates: The US Treasury Department has announced economic sanctions on 50 people and firms across Hong Kong, the United Arab Emirates, and the Marshall Islands. The Treasury claims that these entities and individuals have been acting as a 'sprawling shadow banking network' for Iran’s military. They are involved in the sale of Iranian oil and petrochemicals, which have helped Iran’s military and government gain illicit access to the international financial system. The income from these activities pays for weapons and funding to proxy groups, including Yemen’s Houthis, as well as drone transfers to Russia. The sanctions include Seyyed Mohammad Mosanna’i Najibi, an Iranian-Turkish money-changer, 27 cover companies controlled by Najibi, and a Tehran-based currency exchange business. The sanctions deny the people and firms access to any property or financial assets held in the US and prevent US companies and citizens from doing business with them [910f32e4].
