U.S. Sanctions 32 Entities Tied to Iran’s Missile and Drone Procurement Networks

Officials say the designations aim to choke off propellant supplies, cutting access to the U.S. financial system under UN snapback.

Overview

  • The designations cover 32 actors across Iran, the UAE, Türkiye, China, Hong Kong, India, Germany and Ukraine.
  • Treasury acted under Executive Orders 13382 and 13224, blocking U.S. property and exposing foreign financial institutions to secondary sanctions.
  • OFAC named the MVM partnership for sourcing missile‑propellant chemicals from China for Parchin Chemical Industries, targeting Marco Klinge, Majid Dolatkhah, Vahid Qayumi and India‑based Farmlane.
  • Additional listings hit China‑based Ma Jie and his network supporting UAV engine maker Mado, plus intermediaries tied to HESA that used Ukrainian companies to obtain aerospace parts.
  • The SDN entry for a vessel now known as HONESTAR was updated over false‑flag shipments to Iran, as officials label these networks a threat to regional personnel and Red Sea commerce and note this is the second round since the UN snapback.
