US Treasury Sanctions Amin Exchange, Front Companies and 19 Vessels Linked to Iran
The US Treasury Department imposed fresh sanctions on Iran's shadow banking and shipping networks, targeting Iran-based Amin Exchange, also known as Ebrahimi and Associates Partnership Company, its leaders, and eight front companies that operated in the UAE, Turkey and Hong Kong. The measures also hit 19 vessels accused of shipping Iranian petroleum and petrochemicals, including the LPG tanker Great Sail, the products tanker Ocean Wave and the chemical/oil tanker Swift Falcon.
Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control said the exchange house and associated companies processed hundreds of millions of dollars for sanctioned Iranian banks and other sanctioned Iranians. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Iran's "shadow banking system facilitates the illicit transfer of funding for terrorist purposes."
