United States Imposes Sanctions on Facilitators of Iranian Missile and UAV Procurement
Press Statement
July 31, 2024
Yesterday, the United States designated five individuals and seven entities based in Iran and the People’s Republic of China (PRC), including Hong Kong, that have facilitated procurements of critical components for Iran’s ballistic missile and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) programs.
These individuals and entities assist the U.S-designated Iran’s Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics (MODAFL) and subordinates such as Aerospace Industries Organization and Iran Electronic Industries, both U.S.-designated entities, in procuring electronics, optical components, and missile applicable items sought by Iran’s ballistic missile program for guidance, navigation, and control purposes.
This action follows previous designations of procurement networks supporting MODAFL and subordinate entities involved in ballistic missile and UAV development.  
The United States will continue to disrupt Iran’s ability to procure components essential to its ballistic missile and UAV production, which Iran employs in its efforts to destabilize the Middle East and beyond, and impose costs on any intermediaries that support Iran in its proliferation activities.
“MODAFL was previously designated pursuant to E.O. 13382, E.O. 13224, and E.O. 13949. The Department of the Treasury’s action yesterday is being taken pursuant to Executive Order 13382, which targets proliferators of weapons of mass destruction, their means of delivery, and their supporters.  For more information on yesterday’s action, please see the Department of the Treasury’s press release [ https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy2510 ].”
