Estimated reading time: 1–3 minutes
The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced new sanctions on August 7, 2025. This action was reported in the Federal Register, Volume 90, Number 153, on Tuesday, August 12, 2025.
OFAC added names to the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN List). These changes are based on laws and rules that OFAC uses to decide who should be added.
When a person or company is put on the SDN List, all of their property and interests in property under U.S. control are blocked. This means no one in the United States can have business dealings or make transactions with them.
OFAC makes information about these actions and its sanctions programs available on its website at https://ofac.treasury.gov.
The notice includes both companies and individuals added to the SDN List. The exact list can be seen in the official Federal Register notice.
