US Sanctions Designations Against Iran Surpass All Previous Years

The US Office of Foreign Assets Control has designated more entities tied to Iran in 2025 than in any single year since the original 2018 maximum pressure campaign. Over 875 persons, vessels, and aircraft have been sanctioned as part of the administration's expanded enforcement campaign targeting Iran's shadow banking, money laundering, weapons proliferation, and sanctions evasion networks. The State Department names Iran the 'chief destabilizing force' in the world.
