The US administration has decided to impose sanctions on a number of representatives of the command structures of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC, elite units of the Iranian Armed Forces) and Iranian law enforcement agencies. According to TASS, restrictions were also imposed on three individuals based in China, allegedly involved in cyber attacks by the DPRK and its illegal financial activities in support of programs to create weapons of mass destruction and missile weapons, which the United States accuses the People’s Republic of.
According to the press service of the US Treasury Department, this time a total of 6 Iranian citizens were included in the American blacklists. According to the US government, they are all involved in the use of violence against protesters in Iran.
In parallel, restrictive measures are being applied against three individuals located in China, who, from the point of view of Washington, facilitated Pyongyang’s operations with cryptocurrencies, bypassing restrictions in the financial sector by the DPRK authorities.
In practice, the current sanctions primarily mean the blocking of blacklisted property under US jurisdiction and a ban on interaction with them by American individuals and legal entities.
