The Treasury imposed sanctions on entities that contributed to advancing the Iranian nuclear program.

The Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is “designating five entities and one individual based in Iran for their support to key entities that manage and oversee Iran’s nuclear program, including the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) and the AEOI-subordinate Iran Centrifuge Technology Company (TESA),” the executive department said in an April 9 statement.
