U.S. Sanctions Global Iranian Nuclear Procurement Network
(U.S. Treasury Department) On Thursday, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) took action against a network of front companies and agents involved in the procurement of sensitive materials for sanctioned elements of Iran's nuclear program. Those targeted are based in Iran, China, and Belgium, and have acted as a procurement network for Iran's Centrifuge Technology Company, which Treasury sanctioned in 2011 as a proliferator of weapons of mass destruction.
