Estimated reading time: 2–3 minutes

The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has announced important updates. These updates are about the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List, also known as the SDN List. This list is a key part of OFAC’s efforts to target individuals and organizations with sanctions.

OFAC has made changes to the information of some people on the SDN List. This means they have updated or corrected the details about these people. This is important to make sure the list is accurate.

Furthermore, OFAC has announced that they have unblocked the property and interests in property of certain persons. These persons were previously on the SDN List. Now, they have been removed from the list. This means that their assets are no longer blocked by U.S. jurisdiction.

These changes were decided on June 11, 2026.

For more information, OFAC has made these details available online. The Specially Designated Nationals List can be found on OFAC’s website. It provides extra information about different sanctions programs.
