US OFAC adds Iran-linked refinery network entries to SDN list
→Screening teams must block newly listed Iran-linked parties immediately
Change
US OFAC added Iran-linked individuals and AKU Tejarat Ravizh Kish Company to the SDN List under EO 13902.
Why it matters
The listings impose blocking obligations on property under US jurisdiction. OFAC also flagged secondary-sanctions exposure for listed Iran-linked parties.
Implications
- → Sanctions screening teams must update SDN filters for new names and aliases — AKU Tejarat Ravizh Kish Company, Farab Soroush Afagh Qeshm Company, and Tejarat Sarir Afrooz Kish Company require immediate screening attention.
- → Banks and trade-finance teams must block matched property and halt SDN-linked transactions — processing a matched payment or shipment risks a prohibited transfer.
