On April 28, 2026 the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced the release of a new Iran‑related frequently asked question (FAQ 1249) and a new alert titled “Sanctions Risk of Dealing with Teapot Oil Refineries.” The alert warns that transactions with certain oil refineries may trigger sanctions. OFAC also updated its Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List, adding 23 individuals and 25 entities linked to Iranian companies and other entities. The additions include several Iranian nationals and companies located in Iran, Hong Kong, and the United Kingdom, all subject to secondary sanctions. The changes reflect OFAC’s ongoing effort to enforce U.S. sanctions against Iranian economic actors.
