Estimated reading time: 1–3 minutes

On May 27, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) took action. They added a new name to their Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN List).

The person added is blocked under U.S. jurisdiction. This means all of their property in the U.S. cannot be used. Also, U.S. people cannot do business with this person.

The reason for adding this person is that they met the legal criteria set by OFAC. These rules are strict and aim to stop harmful actions.

OFAC’s website has the complete list of who is on the SDN List. Anyone who wants to learn more can visit https://ofac.treasury.gov. They can also find further details on OFAC’s sanctions programs there.

The leader of OFAC, Bradley T. Smith, authorized this decision. It is part of their ongoing efforts to control and manage foreign assets and ensure national safety.

For more information, people can contact OFAC. They provide phone numbers for queries related to global targeting, licensing, and sanctions compliance.

The U.S. Treasury remains committed to enforcing legal actions strictly. They continue to monitor and update the list as necessary. This ongoing effort is crucial to maintaining the security of the United States.
