Iran Weapons Procurement Disruption

Department of State

Today, the Department of State is taking action to designate four Iran- and Belarus-based entities and individuals involved in the procurement of arms and related materiel intended to support Iran's military.

The United States, as directed in the President's National Security Presidential Memorandum 2, is committed to disrupting procurement efforts supporting Iran's military programs. This action represents the commitment to stop Iran from engaging in activities related to the reconstitution of its proliferation-sensitive programs.

All Department of State targets are being designated pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13949, which targets certain persons with respect to the conventional arms activities of Iran.
