US OFAC designates eight individuals, three firms, and two aircraft under sanctions
→Screening teams must update SDN filters and block transactions linked to designated parties immediately
Change
US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) added eight individuals, three firms, and two aircraft to the SDN List under SDGT and NPWMD authorities.
Why it matters
US persons must block all property interests of the designated parties and report blocked property to OFAC. Non-US parties face secondary sanctions exposure tied to the designations, which target procurement and support networks and increase risk of indirect exposure through linked entities, aliases, and intermediaries.
Implications
- — Screening teams must immediately update filters for designated parties — including SEPEHR KAVEH KISH INTERNATIONAL TRADING COMPANY, CHABOK FZCO, SAMAN AIR SERVICES COMPANY — and extend screening to linked entities and procurement networks, or risk processing sanctionable transactions in breach of US blocking requirements.
- — Payments operations teams must immediately reject or block transactions involving designated parties, or breach US sanctions restrictions.
