The US has sanctioned Waseem Pasha Tajammal, the owner of an arms supplier, and his companies for allegedly supplying weapons to Iran. Mr. Tajammal, 58, runs Cavalier Dynamics Private Limited, a Pakistani company, and its majority shareholder and chief executive. The sanctions were issued by the US Treasury, targeting three companies and 10 individuals linked to Tajammal.
They are accused of providing or attempting to provide financial, material, technological, or other support to Iran's Ministry of Defence and Armed Forces Logistics (Modafl). The US Treasury's Operation Economic Outcast aims to disrupt those supporting Iran's terrorist activities. Modafl, a key organization for Iran's weapons research, production, and acquisition, is also under sanction.
The sanctions encompass Tajammal's UK-based company, which is jointly sanctioned with his Pakistani company by the US and Saudi Arabia. The US Treasury views these actions as a part of their efforts to isolate Iran's enablers and refuse any support to the regime.
