According to the Mehr news agency, the US Treasury Department announced on Wednesday the imposition of sanctions against several individuals and companies related to the IRGC’s Quds Force.
According to a statement on the Treasury Department’s website, the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) claimed that an international network led by the IRGC’s Quds Force, which facilitated the sale of hundreds of millions of dollars in Iranian oil, was on the sanctions list. Put your own.
The US Treasury Department said in a statement that it had imposed sanctions on 10 individuals, including a Russian citizen, and nine companies, including a Russian company, on the pretext of “affiliation” with the Revolutionary Guards.
The statement added that 10 individuals were nationals of Iran, Turkey and Afghanistan, and that nine sanctioned companies were based in Hong Kong, Lebanon, China, Iran, Russia, South Korea and the UAE.
The statement said without providing any evidence: The US Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control has today sanctioned an oil smuggling and money laundering ring run by Revolutionary Guards Quds Force officials. The network has been responsible for facilitating the sale of hundreds of millions of dollars of Iranian oil to the Quds Force and Hezbollah.
The ministry claims that the network has provided resources from the sale of millions of dollars of Iranian oil to the forces of Quds and Hezbollah in Lebanon!
In this regard, US Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Brian Nelson claimed that Washington is committed to holding Iran accountable for its actions.
“While the United States continues to seek to return to full implementation of the Comprehensive Joint Action Plan, we will have no hesitation in targeting those who provide financial support to the Quds Force or Hezbollah,” he said.
