Office of the Spokesperson
The Iranian regime continues to fuel conflict in the Middle East, most recently evidenced by its reckless October 1 missile attack on Israel. Today, the United States is taking action to stem the flow of revenue that the regime uses to support terrorism abroad, as well as to oppress its own people. The Department of State is imposing sanctions on six entities engaged in the Iranian petroleum trade and is identifying six vessels as blocked property.
Iran’s oil exports are enabled by a network of illicit shipping facilitators in multiple jurisdictions who, through obfuscation and deception, load and transport Iranian oil for sale to buyers in Asia.
All targets are being designated pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13846  [ https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/08/07/2018-17068/reimposing-certain-sanctions-with-respect-to-iran ] which authorizes and reimposes certain sanctions with respect to Iran.
The Department is designating the following six entities pursuant to section 3(a)(ii) of E.O. 13846 for knowingly engaging in a significant transaction for the purchase, acquisition, sale, transport, or marketing of petroleum or petroleum products from Iran:
* *GABBARO SHIP SERVICES PVT LT* is India-based company involved in the transport of Iranian petroleum as the technical manager of HORNET. GABBARO SHIP SERVICES PVT LTD knowingly engaged in a significant transaction for the transport of petroleum from Iran.
The Secretary of State has selected blocking sanctions under section 5(a)(iv) of E.O. 13846. The following vessels are being identified as blocked property:
* *HORNET* is being identified as property in which GABBARO SHIP SERVICES PVT LT has an interest.
* *BERG 1* is being identified as property in which STRONG ROOTS PROVIDER NV has an interest.
* *VORAS* is being identified as property in which GLAZING FUTURE MANAGEMENT NV has an interest.
* *OCTANS* is being identified as property in which CELIA ARMAS LTD has an interest.
*SANCTIONS IMPLICATIONS*
As a result of today’s sanctions-related actions, and in accordance with E.O. 13846, all property and interests in property of the designated persons described above that are in the United States or in possession or control of U.S. persons are blocked and must be reported to the Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Additionally, all entities and individuals that have ownership, either directly or indirectly, 50 percent or more by one or more blocked persons are also blocked.
