Background
On January 10, 2020, the President, invoking the authority of,
inter alia, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C.
1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), issued Executive Order (E.O.) 13902 of January
10, 2020, ``Imposing Sanctions With Respect to Additional Sectors of
Iran'' (85 FR 2003, January 14, 2020). Among other prohibitions,
section 1(a)(i) of E.O. 13902 blocks, with certain exceptions, all
property and interests in property that are in the United States, that
come within the United States, or that are or come within the
possession or control of any U.S. person of any person determined by
the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of
State to operate in the construction, mining, manufacturing, or
textiles sectors of the Iranian economy, or any other sector of the
Iranian economy as may be determined by the Secretary of the Treasury,
in consultation with the Secretary of State.
On August 24, 2026, the Director of OFAC, in consultation with the
Department of State and pursuant to 31 CFR 560.802, determined that
