Estimated reading time: 3–5 minutes

The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has updated its Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN List).

This update was made on July 3, 2025. The decision was published in the Federal Register, Volume 90, Number 129, dated Wednesday, July 9, 2025.

The update includes the names of new persons and one or more entities. OFAC has determined that these persons meet the legal criteria needed to be added to the SDN List.

When someone is added to the SDN List, all property and interests in property that are under U.S. jurisdiction are blocked. U.S. persons are not allowed to do business or have financial transactions with these people or entities.

The names of the newly listed persons and entities are now published by OFAC. The SDN List is a tool that helps stop illegal financial activities.

More information and the complete SDN List are available on OFAC’s website at https://ofac.treasury.gov.

The Acting Director of OFAC, Lisa M. Palluconi, signed this notice. The notice was officially filed on July 8, 2025.
