US State Dept. sanctions Iranian military activities, fuel export in Operation Economic Outcast

Sanctions targeted Iranian individuals and companies that facilitated the trade of petroleum and petrochemical products with Iran or supported military action against US forces.

The US State Department has implemented sanctions against Iranian military activities, cyber threats, and illicit oil trade, targeting entities involved in providing images to attack US forces, gathering intelligence for targeting US forces and allies, and supplying Iran’s military and missile programs. The sanctions also include seven individuals responsible for directing the use of conventional weapons against US forces and high-ranking members of Iran’s Supreme National Council, IRGC, and Defense Ministry.

The US will continue to disrupt and dismantle Iran’s military and proliferation activities, procurement schemes, malicious cyber operations, and illicit oil trade.
