On June 3, 2025, the U.S. Department of the Treasury released a notice about actions taken by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). This notice was published in the Federal Register, Volume 90, Number 105.

OFAC has added one or more people to the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List, also called the SDN List. According to this notice, OFAC decided that legal rules for adding these people were met.

When someone is placed on the SDN List, all their property and interests in property under U.S. jurisdiction are blocked. U.S. persons are generally not allowed to do business or other transactions with these people.

The action became effective on May 29, 2025. This means that the sanctions started on that date.
