Why it matters
Treasury says covered property held in the United States or by U.S. persons is blocked and related U.S.-linked transactions are generally restricted, subject to licences and exemptions.
What the sources establish
Treasury is the issuing authority and claimant for alleged conduct. Its release and OFAC’s dated action record establish the announcement and administrative list changes, not the truth of the underlying accusations. Treasury and OFAC are one institutional origin. Reuters reports the announcement but does not independently establish misconduct or measured economic effects. No material disagreement about issuance was found; underlying evidence, affected parties’ responses and actual commercial effects remain unresolved. Restrictions are described with their licensing and exemption limits, without an individual eligibility or legal conclusion. Time is Reuters’s UTC publication minute, not the legal action’s exact time; the official documents give a date only. The Iran coordinate represents the affected economic policy. Private names, addresses, identifying codes, vessel identities, positions and movements are omitted.

4 Nov 2026 20:16 UTC — First published as a primary-source sanctions announcement, distinguishing administrative action from unverified conduct allegations and economic effects, with publication-minute timing and a representative country marker.
